Besides the Post endorsements what other news of interest to Lake Worth residents was in the paper on Wednesday, March 9th?

There were three articles in the paper on Wednesday (3/9) that will be of great interest to residents of Lake Worth besides the endorsement for Mayor Triolo, Vice Mayor Maxwell, and Commissioner Amoroso. See that news below this image:
The Post published strong endorsements for "The Three" incumbents running for re-election in Lake Worth.
Here is the news that appeared in the Local section you may have missed. The Fun Depot on 10th Ave North has plans for a major expansion. From the article:
     “We’ve been really trying to update our facility and make it look really nice,” Nabhan [Eddie Nabhan, Fun Depot’s chief operating officer] said. “What we’re doing now is the next step in our renovation.”
The latest news on the PBSO takeover of the Greenacres PD and the City of Lake Worth is mentioned several times. Here is an except: 
     Many residents in Lake Worth, Greenacres’ neighbor, rave about PBSO, pointing to, for instance, the “Make The Call Y’all” community program that encourages residents to report suspicious activity.
     Lake Worth merged with the sheriff’s office in 2008. “It was the best move Lake Worth ever did,” resident Greg Rice said at the Aug. 10 meeting.
And Eliot Kleinberg has this news about John Prince Park that's located just outside the City of Lake Worth's municipal limits:
     Work is set to begin soon on a $2.1 million “mound circle” pavilion at Palm Beach County’s John Prince Park, west of Lake Worth.
     Palm Beach County Commissioners, at their meeting Tuesday, approved the contract for the 1-year project. New features include five gazebos, a five-bay dog park, and renovations of the existing cricket field, as well as new landscaping and parking.
