Financial Strategies for Today’s Veterans By Lynda V. Harris
As a whole, veterans are highly skilled, highly trained and focused on accomplishing the mission. During boot camp and deployment they live without having to spend a lot of money so many service members are capable of saving money. That being said, many members of the armed forces still struggle with debt and other personal-finance issues. Often the bills pile up while they are deployed, or they may face unemployment without the benefit of a college education or another safety net to fall back on. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs can help, but let’s face it, the VA is swamped. While the problem of debt is universal, being in debt is often more common for active armed forces personnel and their dependents than for non-military families. Studies show that military personnel generally carry more personal debt than their civilian counterparts. Twenty-five percent of military personnel with credit card debt owe $10,000 or more on those cards, compared with only 11 percent of civilians. In addition, one third of military families struggle to pay their bills each month. Service members have special laws to help them stay out of debt and allow them to fo-
cus on their duties. For example, active duty service members cannot pay more than 6 percent interest on credit cards, can cancel their leases without penalty, and, in most cases, cannot have their property foreclosed upon. However, the fixed income veteran population is a target market for predatory lenders such as payday loan lenders because many of them get a guaranteed income every month. The payday loan industry has grown to an over $40 billion industry. The nation’s major banks including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo finance approximately 42 percent of the entire payday loan industry nationwide. In 2007, congress passed the Military Lending Act (MLA), which instituted an interest rate cap of 36 percent APR for consumer credit products sold to those in the military, but it only covered auto title loans, payday loans and tax refund anticipation loans Since the passage of the act, predatory lenders have been finding ways to skirt the law. They have turned to peddling those loans via the internet, originating the loans using Indian reservation based payday lenders claiming exemption from the law because it was based on an Indian reservation, and overseas companies such as those
who are incorporated in another country doing business in America as subsidiaries. Another area of concern for veterans as it relates to money is protecting and passing on wealth. Veterans have one of the highest divorce rates as a group and more than 75 percent of veterans marry at least twice in their lives. This creates blended families, which makes asset protection an important issue. Very often veterans feel guilty about starting new families and leaving old ones. So they may feel they have to buy that person’s love or forgiveness for past aggressions. Many file for and receive back benefits, which can sometimes result in them receiving a large lump sum of money. For many, it is more than they have had at one time in their lives. But instead of making that money work for them and grow to leave an inheritance behind they blow it. “Juicy Lucy” comes around, the long lost child wants some of it, and before you know it it’s gone. Ensuring your assets are passed on as you wish requires understanding which document is best for you and your family. Let’s talk about ways veterans can build wealth. Veterans are in a unique position when it comes to purchasing real estate. They can still purchase a home with zero
money down. However, they should consider resisting the urge to purchase that big house and instead purchase an investment property. I like the idea of using your veterans benefit to purchase investment property such as a two- to four-unit dwelling. While you must live in one of the units, you can collect rent from the other units, create cash flow, and take advantage of tax incentives while the property increases in value. When our Veterans return from active duty the last thing they should be concerned with is being taken advantage of financially. When it comes to creating wealth and increasing your net worth, I encourage each and every one of us to get a plan and work your plan. Seek the assistance of an independent financial advisor and don’t be afraid to ask questions until you get a clear understanding. I believe I speak for all Americans when I say that when it comes to finances, our veterans deserve every type of protection available and more. Lynda V.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.
There’s Much in Life That Can’t Be Instant! In contemporary society, many people have grown accustomed to accomplish quite a few things instantly. Very often, just pressing a button or clapping one’s hands will bring the desired result right away. People are offered instant credit, photos are developed instantly or while one briefly waits. We drink instant coffee, and ingest many instantly-prepared foods and, through a multiplicity of television channels, we can access instant entertainment and news. Information today is literally at one’s fingertips. Examples can easily be multiplied, each
illustrating the unlimited possibilities in our push-button society. Although much of that can in some ways be beneficial for many people, a problem it creates is the false expectation that other issues may also be resolved in great speed. Even though rapidity may denote progress in many situations, it can also mean total disaster in others. We need to learn the difference, and employ genuine understanding as we confront a diversity of issues and options in life! Many of the things that count most take time. The birth of a human occurs only
after the usual nine months in a mother’s womb; friendships are developed over a lengthy period as rapport and confidence are built between the parties, and as each individual unveils his or her true self to the other. Illnesses must follow a certain course in spite of medications used, before full healing becomes a reality. In like fashion, a journey can only occur within the time-frame necessary for its realization. Any problem that suddenly appears cannot be instantly swept under a rug; it requires thoughtful, and often lengthy, concentration and action
for its effective resolution. Anywhere on earth people need a lifetime to learn the lessons that each new day would teach. Everybody must exercise wisdom and patience which each situation requires of us. Even if God keeps you waiting for an answer longer than you may desire, His meaning is to give you not just anything, but the best thing, at the right time! Nevertheless, the Almighty never postpones the outpouring of His blessings; they always follow His divine schedule and appointment!

In 2005, a group of African American professional women in southern Palm Beach County created an organization that would draw upon each other’s strength to help fellow women address critical service issues in the areas of health, education, and economic empowerment. On May 9, the women - known as the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, South Palm Beach County Chapter - will observe their 10th anniversary with a Hat & Brim Luncheon. The event, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Benvenuto Restaurant (Boynton Beach), will include a parade and contest of hats and a ceremony to honor the charter members. “This event promises to be a memorable experience for our members and guests,” Eula Mason-Berry, chapter president, said in a news release. “As an organization dedicated to uplifting women, this Hat & Brim Luncheon gives us an opportunity to honor and show appreciation to the dynamic women whose tireless service to their communities often goes unrecognized.” Among the charter members are educators, attorneys, medical professionals and corporate businesswomen who represent all ages and economic backgrounds, organizers said. Karen Alleyne-Means, speaker, coach, author and editor-in-chief and publisher of HERLIFE Magazine, will be this year’s guest speaker. The award winning entrepreneur works to help women achieve their passion, purpose and vision. The luncheon is the organization’s annual fundraiser to support its programs and efforts in the community. “The [proceeds] from the luncheon will be used [to provide] back-to-school supplies, Thanksgiving and Christmas gift baskets for the senior citizens and needy families,” said Cassondra Thaddies, a member of the local chapter and development manager at
Redbird Advanced Learning, a company which offers educators tools and resources for personalized classroom instruction. These women have played an active role locally by hosting a voter registration drive, coordinating the 2015 All People’s Day Diversity Festival, sponsoring a baby shower for the You Mom Program to help pregnant girls, and hosting financial literacy seminars for women. The women will continue to provide a national voice that addresses issues to enable African-American women and other women of color to effect positive change for our families and for this great country, Mason-Berry said. The local affiliate is rooted in the national organization, which dates back to the winter of 1970 in New York City when 24 black women began meeting in their homes to assess the problems and opportunities left behind in the wake of the turbulent 1960s. Led by visionary Edna Beach, they formed the Coalition of 100 Black Women and for the rest of the 1970s, they slowly but persistently worked to master root causes of issues that affected their families, their communities and themselves. In 1981, with more than 500 members throughout New York City’s metropolitan area - far in excess of the symbolic “100” in its title – the members decided to expand beyond the boundaries of New York City. As the Coalition gained recognition, black women from other parts of the country aspired to duplicate its mission and programs in their own geographic areas, according to the organization’s Website. Today, the organization has grown to between 7,000 and 10,000 women in 62 chapters across the United States and in London, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. Tickets are $50. For tickets or more information, contact Ora Chester at 561-3711849 or Thaddies at 561-502-0504.

Palm Beach State College New Leader Promises “Great Things Together” By CRA News Service
The Palm Beach State College Board of Trustees has unanimously chosen Ava L. Parker, a former Jacksonville lawyer and chairwoman of the state university system, to become the next president of the college. Parker, who is executive vice president and chief operating officer at Florida Polytechnic University, will succeed Dennis Gallon, who is retiring June 30 after 19 years the college’s fourth president. “The quality of the programs and the commitment of the academic and administrative teams are apparent in the success of this institution,” said Parker, who will become the college’s first female president. “The College is poised for innovative strategies that support economic development, it is located in a growing, diverse region, and it is expanding its footprint. We will do great things together.” A third-generation Floridian, Parker earned a journalism degree and a law degree from the University of Florida. She practiced law with the Jacksonville-based law firm Lawrence & Parker and one of her clients was Edward Waters College. In 2010, Parker became the chairwoman of the state university system. Two years later, joined the newly founded Florida Polytechnic University and currently serves as the university’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, the university’s first executive. She reported directly to the board and carried out most of the president-type responsibilities until Randy Avent became the first president. “Through her vision and leadership, Ms. Parker has left an indelible mark on Florida Polytechnic University,” Avent said in an email to the Lakeland Ledger. “I have no doubt that Ms. Parker will continue her legacy of excellence in higher education as president of Palm Beach State College. As a friend and colleague, I wish her the very best in this new endeavor.” Established April 20, 2012, Florida Poly is the state’s only public university for engineering and technology dedicated to science,

technology, engineering and mathematics. It was created to be both a rigorous academic institution and a powerful resource for hightech industries, according to the university’s website. Parker said her experience at the three-yearold Lakeland university and many others prepared her for the transition to a college president. Parker said she was attracted to applying to Palm Beach because the college has “a rich history of success” and “a great diversity within the community.” Becoming the first female president “feels historic,” Parker said. “I feel like I have a great opportunity to mentor women who are interested in leadership,” she told the newspaper. “Women have been so involved in higher education that I’m surprised that I’m serving as the first female, but I’m excited.” Carolyn L. Williams, trustee and co-chair of the Presidential Search Committee, said interest in the position was intense, with 161 applications received from throughout the United States and abroad. The 15-member committee narrowed the pool to four finalists, including Parker. “From the earliest stages of the search, we recognized that there would be many outstanding candidates,” Williams said. “Our goal was to identify that individual whose experience and qualifications most closely met the needs of the College and the communities it serves. We believe that Dr. Parker’s background, skills and passion for student success make her uniquely qualified to lead the College, and we are looking forward to working with her.” Contract negotiations have begun, and Parker is expected to start on July 1. Parker promises to do a lot of listening in her first few months on the job. She wants to learn how officials would like to expand the college. Parker will immediately have her hands full as she will be asked to lead the college’s construction of a fifth campus in Loxahatchee Groves.

School District Selects it’s 25th Superintendent
The School Board of Palm Beach County has unanimously selected Dr. Robert Avossa to serve as Palm Beach County’s next superintendent. “We strongly believe that Dr. Avossa is the candidate to successfully lead our district in building upon our strengths and help us overcome the challenges that school districts face today,” said School Board Chairman Chuck Shaw. The School Board selected Avossa as superintendent and authorized contract negotiations after extensive interviews with Dr. Avossa, Dr. Desmond Blackburn and Dr. Jesus Jara. The Board repeatedly commented that all three candidates were “super stars,” but ultimately selected Dr. Avossa unanimously without debate. “I am excited about the opportunity to join a great school system,” Avossa said. “In many ways, this is a homecoming. I grew up
in and graduated from Brevard County schools and many of my family still lives in Florida.” The Superintendent Search began in January after current Superintendent E. Wayne Gent announced in January that he would not seek to renew his contract. The Board selected the search firm of Ray & Associates to conduct a national search and recruit candidates on the district’s behalf, with the goal of naming a new superintendent this month. The search included a series of public forums and an online survey that gave the community an opportunity to share their ideal qualities and characteristics for the next superintendent of schools. Ray and Associates used that input to help recruit candidates that fit the profile. “This has been a comprehensive, inclusive and open process to find our next superintendent,” said Shaw. “We had an impressive group of candidates, but the board unanimously agreed that Dr. Avossa presents the best vision for the district going forward. We look forward to working with Dr. Avossa on the terms of his contract and beginning his work with the district.” Once a contract is reached, Avossa will be the 25th Superintendent for the School District of Palm Beach County.

What are the Financial Risks of Living Longer?
Protect Your Supply Lines One of our consulting clients typically experiences lean winter seasons because business is slow during those months. Some time ago, as we reviewed and evaluated the company’s projected cash flow for the winter, it became evident there would be difficulty in paying suppliers on time. Many companies in situations like this choose to ignore their suppliers and pay their bills when they can, dodging collection calls, making up excuses, or simply lying to delay making payments that are due. My client, however, desired for suppliers to know how much they are valued. He recognized how important they were to his company and did not want to jeopardize the relationships with them. After discussing the circumstances, and recognizing the difficult financial period that loomed ahead, we all agreed open communication was the best, most caring and considerate thing to do for their suppliers. The client openly told the truth about his company’s situation and was able to work out payment terms with suppliers that all parties involved found acceptable and beneficial. As a result, rather than compromising important relationships, they were protected - and even made stronger - so as business improved in the spring, everything returned to normal. There was no need for apologies or excuses. My client had understood the danger of taking relationships for granted. This makes practical sense since the timely response of suppliers is essential for us to meet the needs of customers. But how we treat everyone associated with our businesses - including suppliers - also reveals the values and principles by which we operate. The Bible speaks strongly about the importance of maintaining integrity
and sensitivity to all the people and entities that patronize and serve us. Here are some examples of what it teaches: Strive to remain truthful and forthright. As the adage reminds us, honesty is the best policy, and nowhere is this more applicable than in business relationships. “These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace” (Zechariah 8:16). Deception can create irreversible damage. Sometimes it might seem expedient to mislead, or even “shade the truth” to avoid a difficult situation, but when the truth is revealed it can harm relationships in ways that cannot be repaired. “The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out” (Proverbs 10:9). Never make commitments unless you fully intend to keep them. In trying to secure and retain business it can sometimes be tempting to tell people what we think they want to hear, even if we cannot guarantee to fulfill our promises. In speaking to His followers, Jesus strongly denounced such behavior. “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.’ But I tell you, do not swear at all.... Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’... (Matthew 5:33-37). Protect your “lifelines.” Good suppliers, like good customers, are indispensable to the success of any business. We should give each the proper care and attention they deserve. Do not risk losing them. “Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds...the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field...” (Proverbs 27:23-27).

Most of us aspire to live a long, healthy and prosperous life. Yet, the financial downside of living longer is the increased risk of outliving your wealth – referred to as longevity risk. Recent studies confirm this to be a top of mind fear for millions of retirement age Americans. “We are living longer and leading healthier lives compared to just 20 years ago”, says the American Journal of Public Health. If you are 65 today and healthy, your life expectancy is 18 to 20 years. For many, this may be their single most important financial issue. How to Manage Longevity Risk. The goal of longevity risk planning is to transfer a portion of your retirement savings into a guaranteed income stream that pays you, regardless of stock market conditions, interest rates, inflation or another Bernie Madoff. The income stream is guaranteed as long as you live. You cannot outlive this retirement paycheck if structured properly. A staggering 84 percent of Americans consider it important to have guaranteed monthly income in retirement but only 14 percent have purchased a guaranteed income solution that ensures lifetime income. What is a Guaranteed Income Payout Product and who offers them? Some of the largest and most highly rated insurance companies now offer this specialty solution. These products simply convert a portion of your accumulated investments into guaranteed payments that are paid by the insurance company over your lifetime. Working with an experienced life cycle planner will help to minimize or eliminate surrender penalties and ensure that your heirs will receive unused principal. According to Yale Professor, Roger Ibbotsen: Investors should be willing to pay an
insurance premium to hedge away the longevity risk. You need a guaranteed income solution if you are: • At or near retirement – no more income. • Concerned about outliving current assets. • Concerned about spouse’s well-being upon your death. • Currently invested 100% in bonds, stocks or real estate. • In need for income until death. • Concerned about losing investment control if health is compromised. • Currently do not have a longevity risk advisor. Can you beat the insurance company? A 65 year old woman can give an insurance company $500,000 today in exchange for a guaranteed income stream of $39,762, beginning at 70. If she waits until she reaches 73 before starting the income stream, her guaranteed lifetime income jumps to $51,494. The longer you wait for the payouts, the higher they will be. If the same 65 year old woman invests $500,000 at a 2% rate and begins to withdraw $39,762 while still earning 2% on the remaining principle, she will run out of money in 20 years, at age 85, well before life expectancy. At 4%, she will run out of money at life expectancy or age 90. With life expectancies continuing to increase, those who have a family history of long lives must be aware of the possibility of a long lifetime and adjust their income and investment plans accordingly. Do you have an advisor who is knowledgeable and experienced in longevity risk planning? If you are age 65 or older, this may be the most important advisor on your team.

Boca Raton High School Crowned NJROTC National Champions
Continue from page 1
The Commander of Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), Rear Adm. Michael S. White, presented participation certificates to all 25 schools and then presented overall trophies to the top five units at an awards ceremony at the National Museum of Naval Aviation after the competition was finished. “We’re so excited to have the (NJROTC) Nationals back here at Pensacola,” said White, who also observed the drill events and visited with units during the competition “As you watch these young men and women compete, it gives you great faith in the future of our nation. Whatever leadership role they pick, they are ready.” NJROTC is a citizenship development program that instills in high school students and in U.S. secondary educational institutions the value of citizenship and service to the United States. The NJROTC Nationals remain the most comprehensive test of overall JROTC training and performance in existence today. This year, many of the nation’s finest NJROTC units from each of the eleven Navy areas were part of this exciting, twoday academic, athletic and drill competition. According to the website, Sport Network International, “No competition in the world of JROTC provides a better test of allaround program quality and esprit-de-corps than the Navy Nationals.” “This is the best possible feeling I could have imagined,” said Cadet Capt. Jake Woods, 18, a senior and the cadet regimental commander of the Boca Raton NJROTC unit. “I know that there is no higher goal for any cadet in this unit ever than to win this national championship. What drives us all year long every year is coming to this place and winning this championship and we are so glad we were able to pull it off.” This was Boca Raton’s first return to the national championship held on NAS Pensacola, since 2011. This year the unit piled up 5,215 points to capture the title. Troy High School (Fullerton, Calif.) came in second with 5,084 points. Centennial High School (Las Vegas), the 2009 and 2010 national champion, placed third with 4,900 points; Westview High School (San Diego)
was fourth with 4,862; and Shawnee Mission North High School (Kansas) finished fifth with 4,815 points. “It was their hard work as a unit,” said retired Navy Lt. Cmdr. Ken Bingham, the senior Naval Science Instructor (NSI) of the Boca Raton Bobcat regiment. “Every day they were practicing on something. I am so proud how well they all did in all the events, especially the academic competition. Bingham, who has commanded Boca Raton for 21 years and will be retiring as NSI at the end of the school year, said he has always stressed academics to all his cadets. This year the emphasis on academics was a key for the unit as they scored 889 points and took first place in the academic competition. Cadet Woods, who is entering the U. S. Naval Academy next year, took the top individual academic honors. Boca Raton’s executive officer, Cadet Capt. Jennifer Menke, 18, said having the Nationals at NAS Pensacola is always a motivation for her unit. “It’s fantastic to be on this Navy base and it really motivates the unit. It’s so exciting to be able to meet face-to-face and compete against all these great teams from across the nation.” While Boca Raton returned to the top spot at the Nationals, Troy, Centennial and Shawnee Mission North are all perennial top-five finishers. Westview High cracked the top five for the first time in several years. Approximately 25 of more than 580 NJROTC units worldwide qualify for the national competition annually. “It’s been unbelievable to see these kids and these units perform so well and dedicate themselves to this competition,” said Dr. J. D. Smith, director and NJROTC Program Manager. “The cadets are performing at an extremely high level and we couldn’t be happier with this year’s competition.” Smith said it was important having Nationals on NAS Pensacola. “It gives the schools from the north and west an opportunity to come to Florida. We hope we can continue this competition live each year here. Each year that the competition is held here the performance of the cadets seems more enhanced and it’s really amazing to see.”

Ben Stiller Superb in “While We’re Young”
Palm Beach International Film Festival concluded its 20th season last week with the prickly, wistful romantic comedy “While We’re Young.” Now “While We’re Young” has opened nationwide. If you like Ben Stiller, this movie is a must-see, for it is some of Stiller’s best work to date. It is also writer/director Noah Baumbach’s best movie since “The Squid and the Whale” in 2005. You know a movie is shooting high when it quotes Goethe in the opening titles. Ben Stiller is Josh Strebnick, a 44-year-old Manhattan documentary filmmaker who is stuck, physically and psychologically. After a promising debut, he has been at work for ten years for a follow-up he just can’t seem to complete. His wife Cornelia (Naomi Watts) has been more than patient, but she is at the end of her tether. The couple hasn’t been out of New York for eight years, when they vacationed in Rome. Josh is too proud to accept help or advice from Cornelia’s father Leslie, played in a welcome turn by Charles Grodin. One day seemingly by chance Josh and Cornelia encounter Jamie (Adam Driver)
www.bocaratontribune.com
and Darby (Amanda Seyfried). Coincidentally Jamie, 25, is an aspiring documentary filmmaker who loved Josh’s first film and quotes from it. Darby makes ice cream and seems content to be in Jamie’s shadow. Jamie and Darby seem to live and absolutely free and unfettered life. Soon Josh and Cornelia are drawn into their world of hipster twentysomethings. Jamie films everything with a tiny video camera. Josh and Cornelia feel flattered by the attentions of the young couple. They even cross over the line with stolen kisses. As with “Greenberg,” Stiller’s previous collaboration with Baumbach, Stiller plays an annoying, self-centered yet decent, vulnerable character we learn to sympathize with. Josh feels he has squandered his youth, and he feels envious of the young and vital Jamie. Yet Jamie is not all he claims to be. Josh learns to his chagrin one is never too old to learn a new lesson in human nature. “While We’re Young” resonates with those who no longer are. Maybe that’s why I related to this film so much. Maybe you will too. Rating: 1/2

If you like sweet treats and savory dishes, you won’t want to miss the GFWC Woman’s Club of Delray Beach’s Real Men Bake, which returns to the historic Sundy House on Monday, April 20. An event that brings out as many as 30 bakers and up to 300 guests, Real Men Bake is not just a chance to sample dozens of culinary creations. It’s also a chance to see another side of some of Delray Beach’s local personalities, including current and former elected officials, other community leaders and representatives of the Delray Beach Police and Fire Rescue departments. “This is an event that draws culinary connoisseurs as well as other people from throughout South Florida who enjoy having a good time for a good cause,” says Mary Reis, co-president of the club, which traces its roots to more than a century ago. “It is the perfect fundraiser for our organization because it’s a chance for Delray men to support a group of Delray women who give back to the community.” Masters of Ceremonies for the event will be Delray Beach Police Chief Jeff Goldman and retired WPTV Channel 5 news anchor Jim Sackett. Returning as a baker will be Delray Beach Police Officer Steve Swanson, who took home the top trophy last year with his bourbon and honey chocolate cake pops. “It’s chocolate, whiskey and chocolate, it’s a triple threat,” he said. “You can’t go wrong with chocolate and whiskey on a stick.” Swanson won’t reveal what he’ll be bak-

ing this year, but don’t be surprised if at lease one of his two favorite ingredients is involved. “Real Men Bake is a fantastic good time and it’s for a good cause,” he said. “ The main fundraiser for the woman’s club, Real Men Bake accounts for about 50 percent of the money collected by the club each year and then redistributed to the community. The Achievement Centers for Children & Families, the Delray Beach Public Library, the Campaign for Grade Level Reading and the Caring Kitchen are among the many organizations supported by the woman’s club. Money raised also supports scholarships presented to selected Atlantic High School students. Cost to attend the event from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. is $20 in advance or $25 at the door, which allows guests to sample all the baked goods they can eat, both sweet and savory. There is no cost to bake and bakers are still needed. “We’re extremely grateful to the Sundy House for once again hosting Real Men Bake,” said Joann Haros, co-president of the GFWC Woman’s Club of Delray Beach. “The entire staff of the restaurant goes above and beyond to make this a great event.” To sign up to bake, purchase tickets or receive more information, contact Lynne Wolff at (561) 301-9045 or email her at lynnart2430@comcast.net.

Brazilian Duo Score as The Fort Lauderdale Strikers Defeat In-State Rivals 2-1
The Fort Lauderdale Strikers earned their first win of the 2015 season Saturday night at Lockhart Stadium with a 2-1 victory over the Jacksonville Armada FC in the first-ever meeting between the two sides. Dubbed by fans on both sides earlier today as the “Battle for the Atlantic,” the game was an intense affair with six yellow cards and two red cards. Brazilians Léo Moura and Victor Giro “PC” scored their first goals for the Strikers
in front of a crowd of 4,883. The winner by PC came on a one-time shot from outside the 18-yard-box, bending it past two Armada FC defenders and goalkeeper Miguel Gallardo in the 65th minute. Shawn Chin was credited with the assist as his blocked effort reached PC in midfield. Moura, the former Flamengo captain and current skipper of the Strikers, opened his goalscoring account just before halftime. Moura converted a penalty kick after Lucas
Scaglia took down PC in the box in front of referee Younes Marrakchi. The midfielder made no mistake with a clinical finish to his left after sending goalkeeper Miguel Gallardo the opposite direction. “I felt really happy to score the first goal and to help the team get a win,” Moura said. “That’s the most important thing. It’s only the second game. I think we are adjusting really well. We are ready for the trip to Canada next week.” The Strikers lead was short lived, however. Four minutes after the break Scaglia found Bochy Hoyos with a lofted through ball into the box. Hoyos controlled the ball before slotting it past Strikers’ goalkeeper David Meves at the near post. Moura had one other scoring chance in the 75th minute when he guided a shot just over the top. In the 87th minute, substitute Walter Ramirez nearly put the result beyond reach. His hard shot hit the side of the net. Tempers flared in the last few minutes as the Armada FC looked to gain possession of the ball and push for an equalizer. Fort Lauderdale’s Stefano Pinho was issued
a yellow card for pushing an opponent in the 90th minute. Pinho was shown a red card one minute into extra time . Jacksonville’s Lucas Trejo was also sent off after receiving two yellow cards. Fort Lauderdale’s Frankie Sanfilippo and Maron Freitas received cautions. Coach Marcelo Neveleff fielded nine players in the starting lineup from the Strikers’ opening night. James Marcelin started in place of the injured Ryan Adeleye while Dani Sánchez was selected at the expense of Aly Alberto Hassan. The win puts the Strikers in the early lead for the Coast Cup, the annual supportersrun trophy awarded to the Florida-based team that wins the series between the three Sunshine State clubs. The Strikers currently hold the Coastal Cup based on its 6 points to 3 advantage over Tampa Bay in 2014. Fort Lauderdale’s next two matches are away from home. The Strikers head north of the border to Canada for a match on Sunday, April 19, at Edmonton, followed by a Saturday, April 25, meeting at Ottawa.
Boca Raton FC Defeats Delray Haiti FC 3-2 In First Game in Franchise History In their first-ever match, Boca Raton Football Club defeated Delray Haiti FC, a team comprised of a local and professional Haitian players, by the final score of 3-2. It only took Boca Raton FC 10 minutes to get in the score sheet thanks to Boca Raton-native Eddie Otaequi’s goal off a pass from the 2010 High School Mr. Soccer for the State of Florida, Colby Burdette. Prior to halftime, Boca Raton FC went down 2-1 after two great counter-attack goals beat keeper Dereck Santos. Delray Haiti FC took firm control of the match the rest of the first half after their second goal. After the break, head coach Marcelo
Castillo and his staff made some adjustments. The moves proved to be quality and saw a more attacking formation on the field. Towering defender Stefano Bontempo also solidified the new back four. Ten minutes into the second half, former Lynn University standout, Lorenzo Cava controlled a sizzling long ball pass from former US-National U20 standout Reginald “CJ” Phelps, Cava then beat three defenders at the top of the box and blasted a shot past a diving Haiti keeper to level the score at 2-2. After the score was level, a heated 20 minutes occurred that saw five yellow cards awarded, two to Boca Raton FC and
three to the Haiti. Boca Raton FC then sealed the game in the 80th minute, on a great combination play between 2014 High School Player of the Year and recent Lynn University signee Tomer Bitton, Gabe Taboada and Greg Ismael. Taboada, a former Lynn standout received a pass from Bitton, then found Ismael with a great lofted pass, all in tight space, and Ismael calmly slotted the ball sharply to the bottom corner of the goal from just inside the 18 yard box. “This was a great start against some top quality competition,” said Castillo. “We will now continue to work hard at practice as
we get ready for South Florida FC.” Boca Raton FC will now face Floridians FC (PDL) in their next match. This game will be played at Central Broward Regional Park on Sunday April 19th. Boca Raton FC will use these next two weeks to tactically prepare for the 2015 APSL Season and its home regular season debut versus South Florida FC at Boca Raton High School on May 2nd.Tickets for the match can found at: www.bocaratonfc. com.

Boca Raton FC Hold Open Tryouts On Saturday, April 11 Boca Raton Football Club held their first-ever open tryouts ahead of the 2015 American Premier Soccer League season. “We have a deep talent pool here in Boca,” said general manager and head coach, Marcelo Castillo. “Boca Raton has such a great number of youth and college talent that this team will be one of the best in the league.” Youth and professional talent alike came together in order to suit up for their hometown team. Trialists are still being looked at by coach Castillo and his staff, and with the inaugural game only a few short weeks away, head coach Castillo and his staff are working closely together to narrow down the names that will represent Boca Raton FC in 2015. The Runner’s Edge, South Florida’s largest running store with over 4,500 square feet, and Sign Partners, a new high-quality and precise sign solution store sponsored the open tryouts. “The Runner’s Edge has been a staple in Boca Raton for nearly 20 years,” said Castillo. “Having a company like that believe in what we are doing is tremendous.” “When a young company like Sign Partners sees what we are doing and says without hesitation, ‘I’m in’ that says a lot,” says majority owner, Douglas Heizer. “This simply goes to show what we are doing here goes beyond the pitch and into the community.” Coach Castillo will have his work cut out for him as he tries to trim down the roster to 25 players for May 2nd.
“This is the first step in defining the Boca Raton FC squad,” said Castillo. “Our team will represent Boca Raton and our region and we committed to finding local and regional talent to be an integral part of that squad. Both Coach Lolo, Coach Robbie and I are greatly looking forward to evaluating that local talent at our Open Tryout and the possibility of identifying local and regional players to come on board and
Softball Drops Final Game of SSC Strikers Midfielder Victor “PC” Giro Series to Barry Named NASL Player of the Week Lynn University’s softball team lost the final game of the Sunshine State Conference series against 21st-ranked Barry on Sunday afternoon, 12-10. The Fighting Knights lose the series 2-1 and move to 20-19 overall and 10-8 in the SSC. Sara Vazquez went 4-for-5 at the plate while Kaci Vassallo had a pair of hits with five runs batted in. Kelly Martinez drove in three runs with a home run in the top of the first inning to put Barry ahead early marking the third time the Bucs scored in the opening frame this series. Lynn got one back in the bottom of the inning when Amanda Casillas drew a bases loaded walk to score Vazquez who led off the inning reaching on a dropped fly ball. Kristina Pazienza hit a leadoff solo home run in the top of the second inning which ended Lynn’s starting pitcher Katelyn Key’s day prematurely. Missy Montgomery came in to pitch and allowed a solo home run to Ashley Fernandez which extended Barry’s lead to 5-1. Lynn stranded bases loaded in the bottom half of the frame for the second consecutive inning after Francais Olexa was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Vazquez and Carvatta hit back-to-back singles loading the bases but Barry’s Haley Wiseman would escape the jam with a pop up by Wright and struck out Vassallo to end the inning. Martinez hit her second three-run home run of the game in the top of the fourth to
put the Buccaneers ahead 9-1. The Fighting Knights once again loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth inning and Carvatta reached on a fielder’s choice in which Jasmine Campos beat out the play at the plate and scored the Blue & White’s second run of the game. Manya Lopez crushed a two-run home run to start off a fifth inning rally for the Fighting Knights. Vazquez drove in Campos making it a 9-5 game. With bases loaded and one out, Vassallo drove one deep over the right centerfield wall for her second home run in as many days tying the game 9-all. Olexa worked the Buccaneers down to their final strike of the game with bases loaded but Espinosa hit a bases clearing triple to give Barry a 12-9 lead in the top of the seventh. A leadoff single by Vazquez gave the Fighting Knights a comeback opportunity. Vassallo drove her in with a double to left center field but the Blue & White eventually fell 12-10. Olexa was credited with the loss for her 10th of the season as she pitched three and a third innings of relief. Lynn returns home on Friday, April 18, when the Fighting Knights host Saint Leo at 3 pm for the first game of a three-game SSC series. For more information, log on to LynnFightingKnights.com.

In the first Coastal Cup match of the 2015 season, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers knocked off league newcomer Jacksonville Armada FC, 2-1, at Lockhart Stadium. Playing a prominent role in the Strikers’ victory on Saturday night was Brazilian midfielder Victor “PC” Giro, who was named North American Soccer League (NASL) Player of the Week on Monday. PC, as he prefers to be called, was involved in both of the Strikers’ goals this past weekend. Late in the first half, while attempting to receive the ball inside the penalty area, PC drew a foul that led to a spot kick from fellow Brazilian Léo Moura. After the Armada FC equalized early in the second

half, PC rifled a left-footed shot past visiting goalkeeper Miguel Gallardo to give the Strikers a one-goal lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. “It’s a great honor to receive this award,” PC said through a translator. “I’m very happy about scoring the winning goal, but more importantly, we got the win and the three points in front of our home fans.” Joining the Strikers on loan from Brazilian giants Corinthians prior to the season, PC has impressed in his first two matches in Fort Lauderdale. The Brazilian youth international put in a solid shift in Week 1 against the New York Cosmos, nearly finding the net on a few occasions. The Sao Paulo native previously served as the captain for Corinthians’ U-17 and U-20 sides. “PC had a fantastic match and scored an incredible goal against Jacksonville, and we’re really happy that he has earned this honor,” said Strikers General Manager Amaury Nunes. “He is a very promising young player and we expect him to keep growing and adjusting with the team as the season goes on.” After kicking the season off with two consecutive home matches, the Strikers travel north of the border to face FC Edmonton on Sunday at 4 p.m. ET. The match can be seen live on ESPN3 (in the U.S.) and City TV Edmonton (in Canada).
