8th Annual Carousel Day

Deepak Chopra

Addressed 1,600 Guests

The Eighth Annual Rotary Carousel Day will be taking place on December 7th at Sugar Sand Park. Seems like it was just yesterday when it all started while Douglas Heizer, former president of Boca Rotary Sunset, was watching the news and saw Wayne Barton came on asking for toy donations to give to the needy children of Boca Raton. Right after, Heizer decided to give him a call.

Deepak Chopra, M.D., the author of more than 65 books, including numerous New York Times bestsellers, addressed a sold out crowd of 1,600 guests at Congregation B’nai Israel on Thursday, November 13.

Boca Helping Hands Served Record Numbers During Thanksgiving Week

Once again, the community has come together to help those less fortunate. The volunteers and staff of Boca Helping Hands geared up for a record week of service in preparation for Thanksgiving week.

On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, over 1,500 turkeys and baskets were distributed to local families in need. With turkeys and baskets pouring in to Boca Helping Hands throughout the month of November, BHH Executive Director James S. Gavrilos was confident that every family who registered would receive everything they needed for a family Thanksgiving Dinner.

“It is an absolute inspiration to see this community come together,” said Gavri-

los. “This year, groups and organization all across our community have stepped forward to become “Basket Buddies” with Boca Helping Hands. This list reads like a “Who’s Who” of business in Boca Raton, as it includes: The GEO Group, LexisNexis, Purity Wholesale Foods, The Kabballah Center of Boca Raton, Rotary Club of Boca Raton, UBS Financial, Sun Capital Partners, Wells Fargo Bank, AmTrust Bank, Solid Rock Christian Church, MDVIP, GFA Engineering, Javita Coffee, The Daughters of the American Revolution, Olympic Heights High School, Gladstone Law Firm, and North Broward Prep. Each of these groups provided baskets and/

or turkeys. And one angel who wishes to remain anonymous stepped forward to personally donate 1,200 turkeys. Thanks to this community, a lot of families will have a happy and delicious Thanksgiving.”

On Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving week, the turkeys and baskets were distributed to those families who registered with BHH. Volunteers from F.A.U., The Home Depot, The Boca Raton Christian High School Girls Soccer Team and the Caron Renaissance Center were on hand to help load up 1500 cars with baskets of goodies and frozen turkeys.

8th Annual Carousel Day Takes Place Again on December 7th Continue from page 1

“How can I help?” Heizer recalled saying.

It was then where The Rotary Carousel Day was born. A day in which children and adults alike can get free carousel rides, take photos with Santa Claus, and of course, help the needy kids of Boca Raton.

Back in 2005, the Boca Raton Rotary Club Sunset was instrumental in raising money to help purchase an intricate merry-goround. In celebration of Rotary’s 100th anniversary, the club decided to donate the carousel to the city’s Parks and Recreations Department where it was then placed at Sugar Sand Park.

Because of the Rotary’s generosity, the Greater Boca Raton Beach & Parks District, which owns the play area, offered the club a chance to use the carousel one day a year free of charge.

In 2007, Heizer proposed to use one of those days to host a toy drive.

“No one was really using that carrousel,” Heizer said. “I thought let’s use this to help kids during the holidays.”

Since the first Carousel Day, more and more people got involved. Boca Helping

Hands joined forces as well as supporters from Atlantic High School Key Club, the five other Rotary Clubs in Boca Raton, The Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, ACM Building Services, Image 360, The Boca Raton Green Market, Remax Realty Pros, and others.

This year’s event is scheduled for Dec. 7 in Sugar Sand Park from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

It offers families fun and free rides on the carousel as well as hot dogs and hamburgers. There will also be a special appearance from Santa Claus.

Participants are urged to bring new, unwrapped toys that will be given to needy kids who may not otherwise receive any presents this holiday season.

Since the first toy drive in 2006, over eight thousand of toys have been donated, last year alone, there were over four thousand.

This year they hope to raise over 10 thousand.

“Our goal is to be the biggest toy drive in south county,” Heizer said. “We want to be bigger, we want to be able to give away more toys.”

foster learning, inspiration and wonder.

Brace yourself for enriching stories that will trigger your own ideas and motive good in the world. The theme for this year’s event is “Breaking Barriers.” The line up of riveting, cutting edge and dynamic speakers will teach you to stop making excuses, develop a strong mind, keep moving forward, claim your strengths, achieve more, define your character and embrace life. “Breaking Barriers” means breaking through to find out who you are meant to be and what steps need to be taken to get there. How you pursue life and the ability to make it meaningful is what TEDxBocaRaton will offer you

this year!

“Our goal is to keep the conversation buzzing before and after this signature event,” says Becky Woodbridge, Head Organizer for TEDxBocaRaton. “We’re happy to partner with The Boca Raton Tribune this year as our official newspaper sponsor for this event. The team at the Tribune will keep the community informed on the event.”

EDITORIAL

By C. Ron Allen

Empty Chairs Around the Table Two chairs around Decarla Balam’s Thanksgiving dinner table will be empty this year. The Delray Beach woman lost two sons to gun violence within four years - James A. Williams, Jr., 17, whose life was accidentally cut short by a cousin in November 2009 and Jarvis Balam, 20, was gunned down in November 2013. She also lost a cousin, Patrick R. Balam, who was slain in December 2012.

As I listened to the speakers at a community rally on gun violence earlier this week, I heard loudly the emptiness in four women’s voices. Three of them had lost sons and one, a brother. If only I had one wish, it would be for those young men to be eating with them today.

As families gathered for the traditional

turkey meal last year, many didn’t comprehend it would be their last one together.

They couldn’t foresee a car speeding out of control, an industrial accident, a soldier killed in combat, a death by natural causes or the bullet that robbed their family member of a priceless life.

These families won’t be the only ones who will not have that normalcy in their lives today. For many of you, that someone missing from your table may be a loved one serving in the armed forces. Or, maybe it is a family member living across the country and couldn’t make the trip.

Circumstances often separate us, and special times only make us miss them more.

I have often heard some people say that the holidays are difficult because so many

memories of friends and family passed are attached to the smells and tastes and sounds and faces of these special days.

These memories conjure unspoken blends of sorrow and joy and humor and regret.

The holidays can bring grief.

So what do you do? Is there a way to honor our memories of those who have passed and to elevate them and use them as a way to build family unity or better yet, peace in the community? I believe so… in prayer.

In prayer we invite God, ever present to bring a miracle into the mix of our grief.

He can; He does; He will, when we pray.

When we’re apart it’s a good time to pray for the ones we love, and also give thanks for the fond memories of those who have

gone on.

This Thanksgiving dinner prayer is an enriching opportunity to look backward and forward in our grief, and as we do so, let’s relish the present moment. By expressing our obvious loss to God we give him a chance to transform our grief into true joy and hope.

As you grace your table today, please consider bringing to God the loneliness you feel from missing your loved one. Invite Him to set his tone for the day and to offer His perspective, to heal sorrow and bring His miraculous gift of hope. It’s not natural of course, but it’s “super-natural.”

Happy Thanksgiving, God Bless.

POSITIVE LIVING

By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

The Habit of Thanksgiving In the United States of America, a specific Thursday every November is designated as a Day of Thanksgiving. It’s interesting that this challenge for gratitude on the part of individuals and the entire nation comes late in the year. It gives us all the opportunity of reviewing all blessings received throughout the year and, then, offering thanks for them!

It is sad, though, that for many people thanksgiving also comes quite late in their lives. It’s only after they start missing something or someone that these persons recognize how favored they had been before.

In many such cases thanksgiving cannot be manifested to a benefactor anymore,

whether it be a parent, a spouse, or any significant other in a person’s life. Nevertheless, God should still be thanked since “every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and descends from the Father of lights in Whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (Epistle of James 1:17).

Furthermore, true gratitude should never be limited to any single day or season of the year. That’s why I allude here to the habit of thanksgiving. God surrounds us daily with His gifts. He puts people and things in our lives to help us advance, to meet specific needs, and to bring us joy.

Sadly, so much of that we tend to take for granted. Yet, it’s important that we

recognize small as well as great favors received, as reasons for our giving of thanks.

Many times, each day, it’s our joyful duty to “praise God from Whom all blessings flow.”

The Holy Bible reminds us and human experience confirms it, that God daily loads us with His benefits, and “no good thing will He withhold from those that walk uprightly”(Psalm 84:11b). He is interested in the wellbeing of all His children, and He does for us “exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20). Sometimes He does it directly; most often through His human agents!

The only way Thanksgiving may become a habit is if you develop the discipline of

literally counting your blessings, registering all divine favors, whether great or small, even recognizing certain hardships in life as blessings in disguise.

Remember, God will not repeat certain favors to you if you are not careful to acknowledge them with a grateful heart, neither will He send you greater and additional blessings if you disregard those daily benefits you’ve come to expect as something He automatically dispenses whether you ask for them or not. Thank Him not only for new, fresh gifts, but also for past manifestations of His unchanging love and mercy to all His human creatures!

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

Advanced Campaigning Program

INDULGE WITH A FREE WAX

© 2014 EWC

Florida Atlantic University has a new program that is making waves. The university is offering an intensive campaigning program that is training students for jobs working in and running political campaigns. It is one of the first programs to focus on the training and knowledge that make a career in politics possible for students.

“There is an increasing amount of money in politics, and that means there are a growing number of jobs,” said FAU Campaigning Professor Kevin Wagner. “We want our students to be trained and prepared for go right into this industry.”

The Advanced Campaigning course, which is an offering from the political science department at FAU, covers campaign techniques, strategy, and tactics with emphasis on recent technological developments.

Along with lessons from professor, the students meet and learn from political strategists, national campaign consultants and current political leaders.

“We don’t just want them to have book knowledge,” said Wagner. “We want our students to understand the nuts and bolts of running a campaign. We want them to meet and network with leading people in the industry.”

To help lead this effort, Wagner teamed up with Craig Agranoff, a leading authority on cutting edge campaigning and voter outreach. “Craig Agranoff is a great asset to our program,” said Wagner. “Not only can he speak to the students about real campaigns, as such a leader in the use of technology, he allows us to give our students training that many people in the industry don’t yet have.”

The course consists of group seminars and campaign simulations used to develop and refine a participant’s ability to coordinate a successful political campaign. There are also several exercises and the development of a campaign plan. Groups of five to six students work jointly on the development and presentation of a single campaign plan for an actual upcoming race. The plans are presented to current elected officials and leading campaign managers for judging.

“So many people complain that the social sciences are not giving students preparation for jobs,” noted Wagner. “We are proving that not only is that false, but we can and are placing our students in not just jobs, but careers with a fast growing and increasingly important industry.”

Shaping the Future of Boca Raton with the 18th Annual Walk of Recognition the Community Appearance Board. Vander Ploeg continues to assist in the production of the new design guidelines for the Downtown Pattern Book and was one of the original founders of the Festival of the Arts. In addition to his active architectural work, he also makes himself available to advise and consult for many local charities including Florence Fuller, The Haven, the George Snow Scholarship Fund and the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum.

Vander Ploeg has also volunteered his time as a guest juror for the School of Architecture at Florida Atlantic University Palm Beach State College and participated in several A.1.A. sponsored Urban/Community Planning Teams.

Now in its 18th year, the Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum held it’s annual Walk of Recognition event Thursday, November 20th at the Mizner Monument at Royal Palm Place. This community celebration recognizes individuals who have been leaders in shaping the future of Boca Raton. Honored this year as the new 2014 inductees were Connie Siskowski, RN, PhD, Derek Vander Ploeg and Susan Whelchel.

This year’s inductees have helped shape the community of Boca Raton for years.

• Connie Siskowski, RN, PhD recognized in 1997 that even in Boca Raton, there were many caregivers of the homebound who could not find respite from their responsibilities or afford simple services. Because of this, Siskowski founded Boca Raton Interfaith in Action, which brought volunteers from all religious communities together to provide support services for this neglected group. While doing this, she discovered that many were youth caregivers, young people who are balancing school and other activities and caregiving responsibilities. This led to her forming the American Association of Caregiving Youth non-profit agency in 2005. This program is the first of its kind in the United States and allows students to achieve both in and out of school. Siskowski has received numerous awards and commendations for her work – most recently the Distinguished Alumna Award from the John Hopkins Alumni Association in 2010, the Palm Beach County Medical Heroes in Medicine Award for Community Outreach in 2011, the Woman of Grace from the Bethesda Hospital Foundation in 2011 and was named one of the top 10 CNN Heroes for 2012.

• Derek Vander Ploeg has been involved in the life of Boca Raton for over 35 years.

An architect who has designed many of Boca Raton’s iconic buildings, he also volunteers on many city advisory boards including Visions 90 (1991-2006) and currently on the Downtown Advisory Board and Transportation Force, Business Improvement District Steering Committee and

November 28 - December 4 ,2014

• Susan Whelchel has been involved in the betterment of the Boca Raton community for the past 36 years. She has served her city as a council member, Deputy Mayor, CRA Chair and Mayor. As a former teacher, Whelchel was appointed by Governor Jeb Bush to the Palm Beach County School Board where she encouraged a renewed focus and commitment to the local schools, culminated in the creation of the Don Estridge High Tech Middle School in Boca Raton. Also known for fostering collaborative partnerships, Whelchel was a leader in Boca Raton’s business development initiative, innovation environmental actions, collaborations among neighbors, non-profits and educational institutions and even worked to bring the Allianz Golf Tournament to Boca Raton. Whelchel has a strong sense of commitment to Boca Raton and has worked tirelessly for a well-balanced community. She is known for her passion for young families and has encouraged greater involvement of young professional families in the community.

Boca Downtown Rotary Club Luncheon

Charlotte Beasley, Robin Trompeter and Maria Pita Smithers

I attended the Boca Raton Downtown Rotary club luncheon at the Airport Cinema Bogart’s restaurant today along with my new friend from Palm Beach, Maria Pita Smithers. We were guests of Rotary President, Frank Fieler. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and then listened to Frank introduce the speaker of the event, Brian Rensing.

Brian has 20+ years Information Technology exprience in the healthcare industry and started to tell us a story of when he moved to Boca Raton. He has horses so he purchased a large piece of property to keep his horses on. Instead of buying a Ferrari like the usual Boca Crowd he opted for a used John Deere tractor. The man who sold it to him delivered the tractor and showed Brian how to operate it. When he left and Brian tried it on his own he could not get it to go in reverse and alas his poor horses had to wait for him to gather hay for their dinner till he figured it out! His Achievemen included developing strategies to pick the right technology investments and execute them with excellence.

After the speaker finished, Frank Fieler presented him with an award and also presented Howard Tai of Uncle Tai’s with an award. All in all a lovely way to spend the afternoon.

Women are at the forefront of two new plays that opened this week in Delray Beach.

“Piaf ” is a dramatization of the life of French torch singer Edith Piaf. This play with music runs through Dec. 14 at Delray Square Performing Arts, 4809 W. Atlantic Ave. at Military Trail.

There is a romantic, idealized view of the tragic chanteuse, and Edith Piaf certainly fits that description.

The best thing about “Piaf,” a 1978 Tony Award-winning play by Pam Gems, is its star, Victoria Lauzin. Ms. Lauzun embodies the soul of the “little sparrow,” who was born in 1915 and died of liver disease in 1963 at age 47. This comes as no surprise, considering Piaf ’s reckless lifestyle. Piaf was the embodiment of “live fast, die young.”

“Every damn fool thing you do in this life you pay for,” were her famous last words.

Yet “Piaf ” is not a downer. It is more a salute to an indomitable spirit, known by her signature song “La Vie en Rose.”

While that rosy song is what is most people associate with Edith Piaf, my favorite is “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” (No, I Regret Nothing). No, me either.

Playing Edith’s best gal pal and confidante Toine is Courtney Poston, familiar to

patrons of Boca Raton’s Slow Burn Theatre Company.

Like Edith, Toine is a woman of “easy virtue” in a demi-monde of seedy characters.

Providing super-human musical support is pianist Phil Hinton, who is obscured onstage behind a panel. Musical director Hinton is at least as important as the characters. I think he should be front, if not center, but that decision is up to director Gary Waldman, who also plays Leplee and a doctor and contributed English lyrics to the French songs.

With the exception of Victoria Anderson as famed cabaret singer Josephine Baker, the rest of the cast is young and a bit uneven.

But hey it’s live theater in a converted movie fourplex, and if Edith Piaf is your thing, this is well worth a look.

columnists the truth about life insurance

FAITH

By Robert J. Tamasy

A Stellar Team’s Greatest Characteristic If you were to identify the most important characteristic of an outstanding, highly productive team, what would it be? Talent certainly would be one characteristic we would want. Experience would be another.

The list of desirable traits for a team could go on and on, but there is one that seems indispensable: Unity.

I was reminded of this recently while reading a portion of the late Bob Briner’s book, The Leadership Lessons of Jesus.

Drawing from his decades of involvement in the world of sports, Briner pointed out one essential quality for effective leadership is creating and sustaining unity within the team: “Successful coaches often get rid of very talented players that cause disunity. The remaining players, though less talented, are often more successful,” he wrote. “Unity means so much. There is no substitute for it. It is a prerequisite for sustained success.... A wise leader does all he or she can to build with those who contribute to unity while eliminating the causes of disunity from the team.”

Unity on a team certainly applies to achieving a specified objective. But unity goes beyond that to include a mutual commitment to the same mission, vision and corporate values that undergird the enterprise. Failure to achieve such unity, Briner noted, can divide, even destroy a team with great potential.

This, however, does not mean uniformity.

Uniformity - insistence that everyone think, speak and act in an identical manner - can actually undermine unity. Autocratic leadership sometimes insists on unifor-

mity. But just as on a sports team, players have different roles and responsibilities, yet are united around the common goal of winning - team unity in a business or professional setting allows for differences that complement the overall effort needed for accomplishing the mission, leaving ample room for diverse ideas and approaches.

When I was a magazine editor, planning sessions were highlights of my day as we merged the varied perspectives of myself, assistant editor, art director, business manager and other staff into our common mission of creating a publication that would serve our readers. We had conflict.

Sometimes argued. And often laughed. We achieved unity, without mandating uniformity. The whole was greater than the sum of our parts.

The Bible addresses the subject of unity often, using the human body as an example. And in establishing His earthly mission, Jesus certainly had an extremely diverse collection of followers. Yet 2,000 years later, all over the world we see the power of the unity possessed by that initial small, rag-tag group.

Disunity destroys. Often in business we find key members of a team, talented individuals, putting their own goals and ambitions ahead of everyone else. Rather than pulling together effectively, like a matched team of oxen, they undermine the work overall by their self-centeredness.

“If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand” (Mark 3:24-25).

The 10 Commandments Of Life Insurance

Here are a few guidelines to help you when it comes to life insurance. The goal here is to avoid land mines. The following is a list of essential do’s and don’ts.

At the risk of over-simplifying: 1. Regular review = Better coverage, lower premiums.

A regular review of your life insurance portfolio gets top billing. Products change, your goals and objectives change, health may change and things such as beneficiary designations tend to change.

At least every 2-3 years, review your goals, objectives and your inforce policies. The purpose of reviewing your policies is not only to check premiums against the current market but to also learn about new policies and new riders that add value and increase how the policy may benefit you.

For example, new riders are available today that allow you to draw against the face value of the policy if you have a serious health event such as a heart attack or stroke.

2. Ownership and Beneficiary Issues.

Discuss the owner and beneficiary of each policy with an experienced agent and/ or advisor who understands the objective of each policy. Do you have policies in a trust? Do you still need a trust? Circumstances change such as business partners, spouses, children, tax laws, etc.

3. How Long Should the Coverage Last?

The issue of coverage duration is huge.

Nearly everything revolves around how long you need or want the policy to be inforce. It should be established early in the buy or review process, almost before any other decisions are made. Once you decide how long the coverage should last,

decisions such as term vs. permanent become much easier to make. As people get older, feelings about duration often change. Many 35-40 year old buyers are convinced they only need coverage until retirement or when their kids finish school. As those events get closer, most people attempt to extend the coverage period.

4. Installment payout option or Lump-sum proceeds?

Are the policy proceeds of your current policies paid in a lump-sum (like a lottery payout)? Most people buying life insurance for income replacement prefer the installment payout option which is the equivalent of buying a guaranteed income stream? Premiums are significantly lower and the proceeds are paid for as long as you determine. Visit www.InstallmentLife. com for more information.

5. Policy Type.

There are many types of policies and there is a perfect one for you. The lowest priced policy is not the best policy. Among policy types, the most important decision you must make is either a term policy or a permanent policy. Good policies have many riders that add tremendous value to the policy. You can add “applications” to your life insurance policy that allow you to invest in the stock market or allow you to borrow on a tax favored basis.

6-10: The next column will continue the list of guidelines intended to help you be a better life insurance buyer.

At Age 60 Benjy Wolf Is Reinventing His Career With Boca Raton Liquid Capital Location For many 60-year-olds, any talk of their career is invariably focused on its conclusion and their pending retirement. Not so for Benjy Wolf. That’s because at age 60 Wolf left his previous career where for more than 30 years he worked in a television national sales representation business and began a new one with a Liquid Capital financial services franchise. Wolf ’s Liquid Capital business is located at 2255 Glades Road, Suite 324A and serves South Palm Beach County, from Boca Raton north to Lake Worth and west to Wellington.

“After years working in television, I re-evaluated what I wanted to do with my life and realized that going into business for myself was the only thing that really made sense,” says Wolf. Responding to his new ambition, Wolf opened a Liquid Capital franchise in May, 2014.

For Wolf, a crucial factor which compelled him to choose Liquid Capital over other franchises was the support the company provides for its franchisees or “principals.”

“I already had positive impressions about Liquid Capital after spending time speaking with company executives in the home office, and they were reinforced when I spoke with many other Liquid Capital principals during the evaluation process. For me, Liquid Capital has provided a way to go into business for myself, but not by myself,” says Wolf.

With no shortage of competition in the financial services sector, Wolf is confident

that Liquid Capital provides services with a business model that sets Liquid Capital apart from its competitors. “Many small businesses have a need for working capital but have found it very difficult to get a loan or line of credit through a bank. At Liquid Capital we can provide growing businesses in a cash crunch with the working capital they need without the owner having to give up any equity in the business and without the business adding any debt to the balance sheet. Even though the economy seems to be improving it’s still very difficult for small businesses to get approved for commercial loans. When the bank says ‘No,’ Liquid Capital says ‘Yes!’” Leaving the relative comfort of his previous long-time career, Wolf notes an initial apprehension which, he says, has been assuaged after months of successful business.

“Leaving a comfortable corporate environment to becoming a small business owner and entrepreneur was a bit nerve-wracking, but I’m actually having a lot of fun with it now,” says Wolf.

When the subject of the franchise’s future directions is broached, Wolf stresses his personal emphasis on ensuring that his current customers receive the attention they deserve before looking ahead. “For now I’m happy to build my business one satisfied customer at a time. I like being ‘handson’ and providing my clients excellent customer service with personal attention.”

‘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.”

Hellmann Highlights SSC Dominated Daktronics All-South Region Team

Lynn University’s men’s soccer team received more good news after arriving home as the South/Southeast champions; Chris Hellmann was selected as the Daktronics South Region Player of the Year and was joined by Jason Sangha, Javier Mochon and

Nicolas Mortensen as first team honorees.

All four student-athletes are now eligible for Daktronics All-America consideration.

A sophomore out of Cologne, Germany, Hellmann adds to his impressive haul after previously being honored as the SSC Player

and Offensive Player of the Year. A fourtime SSC Offensive Player of the Week pick, he led his conference and ranks second in the nation in goals (24) and points (59) while also sitting atop the SSC leaders in assists with 11. This season Hellmann also led the Fighting Knights to the SSC Regular Season and Tournament titles and the school’s third NCAA National Semifinals appearance in the last four years.

Sangha and Mochon have formed one of the most formidable central defense combinations in the nation. The duo has helped the Blue & White record five shutouts while posting a 0.94 goals-against average. Opponents have attempted only 59 shots on goal in 19 games for a 3.11 average. This is the fourth first team selection for Sangha, who is aiming to become the second four-time All-American in program history (Gareth Dunn 1997-00). Mochon was a second team pick last year.

Mortensen has put together an impressive

season in the shadow of Hellmann. The freshman striker is second on the team and ranks second in the SSC with nine assists and is third with nine goals and 27 points.

Mortensen came on especially strong in the postseason, logging a goal and four assists in the SSC Championship match and NCAA third round and quarterfinals.

The Sunshine State Conference earned 15 of the 29 selections, including 10 of the 13 first team picks. Gulf South Conference schools accounted for 13 accolades while Palm Beach Atlantic added one honoree.

Lynn knocked off No. 2 Young Harris in the NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals to earn the program’s sixth NCAA national semifinals appearance since joining the NCAA in 1996. Overall, the Fighting Knights have reached the national semifinals (NCAA and NAIA) 14 times, winning the 1987, 1991, 2003 and 2012 national titles.

FAU Losses to Middle Tennessee In Final Minutes The Blue Raiders pieced together another speedy drive, marching 56 yards in 1:35 as Whatley capped it off with his third touchdown run of the game to make it 34-28 FAU with 4:15 to play.

MT burned all three of its timeouts on FAU’s next drive, forcing a punt just 1:07 later. Dalton Schomp punted 26 yards to setup the Blue Raiders at their own 30-yard line with 3:08 to play.

Nine plays later, Whatley ran for 14 yards to setup a first-and-goal at the FAU seven.

His next attempt went for a loss of five yards as Neasman came up with a tackle for loss. Two incomplete passes later, including one in the end zone that was broken up

by D’Joun Smith, made it fourth-and-goal from the 12. MT quarterback Austin Grammer found Marcus Henry in the back of

November 28 - December 4 ,2014

the end zone on his next attempt to tie the game with 19 seconds left. Kicker Cody Clark converted the point after for what proved to be the game-winning point.

Johnson completed a pass to Woods on FAU’s final drive to get to the FAU 33, but his next heave was intercepted at the MT 27 as time expired.

Jay Warren carried the ball 26 times for 95 yards while Jenson Stoshak made nine receptions to lead the Owls with 93 yards.

Whitehead’s game ended with 125 total yards, including 39 through the air. Defensively, FAU was led by Cre’von LeBlanc who recorded nine tackles. Andrae Kirkand Jerrad Ward added seven each. Whatley led MT with 198 of the team’s 470 yards. The running back tallied 321 total yards thanks to 136 on kick returns.

Edition 210 - 15 The Boca Raton Tribune SPORTS East/West Boca Raton, FL

Lynn Men’s Soccer Reaches Third Final Four in Four Years Trailing 1-0 with 42 minutes remaining in its season, Lynn University’s third-ranked men’s soccer team used a 30 minute lightning delay to regroup and collect itself before using a four-goal barrage in 14 minutes to pull out a 4-1 victory over No. 2 Young Harris in the NCAA Quarterfinals.

The Fighting Knights will be making their third NCAA national semifinals appearance in the last four seasons and seventh overall since 1996.

Lynn will face Quincy in the national semifinals in Louisville, Ky., on Thursday, December 4. Fans will be able to watch the action live at LynnFightingKnights. com. The other bracket pits top-ranked Charleston (W. Va.) against Colorado Mesa.

The winners of each match will square off on Saturday, December 6. Times are to be determined.

Chris Hellmann added to his goal total with a pair of scores while Nicolas Mortensen added the game-winning goal with two assists. Freshman keeper Lucas Fancello turned away a career-best six shots and Lynn’s top-notch defensive unit of Jason Sangha, Javier Mochon, James Casserly and Charlie Anderson held the top-goal scorer in the nation Ilija Ilic to just one shot attempt.

Despite owning possession from the opening whistle, the Blue & White (17-1-

1) found themselves trailing 1-0 after nine minutes of action. A foul just outside the box gave Young Harris (19-1-1) a scoring opportunity, which it did not miss as Lewis Hilton buried his free kick inside the right post.

Lynn came out of the break focused but was forced sit for 30 minutes following a lightning delay. The Fighting Knights rallied around the leadership of senior captain

Jason Sangha, Adam Hutchinson and seventh-year head coach John Rootes.

After the stoppage, a renewed team took the pitch and scored the equalizer behind the brilliance of Hellmann. Mortensen collected a pass near midfield and found his fellow striker streaking on a diagonal run. Hellmann picked up the ball, took one touch and ripped a shot from 12-yards out on the left side to knot the game 1-1.

Just one minute later the Fighting Knights took the lead and never looked back. High pressure on the Mountain Lions forced a bad pass from the keeper and Lukas Zlatarits pounced over the loose ball. A quick pass found Mortensen and the freshman forward beat keeper Jordan Bradshaw to the left post for his ninth goal of the season.

The scoring onslaught continued with the substitution of Simon Gubisch. Only a minute after entering the match, Gubsich beat his defender down the left wing and lofted the perfect cross towards the back post where Zlatarits sat patiently for the volleyed goal.

Again only a minute ticked off the scoreboard before National Player of the Year candidate Hellmann struck for the 24th time this season. Mortensen drew two defenders in with a run on goal and then tipped a pass forward as the duo bit on his move. Hellmann ran on to the pass and beat Bradshaw for his seventh multi-goal game of the year.

Hellmann heads to Louisville on an offensive tear the likes have never seen. He has recorded 15 straight games with at least one point and six consecutive with a goal. Additionally, the Cologne, Germany, product moved into fourth place in the school’s illustrious history for points (59) and goals (24) in a season.
