Community 4 Seek One Seat on City Council On January 12th at 5:00 PM, the Boca Raton City Council closed its door to candidates seeking to run for City Council Seats C and D. For Seat D, the only candidate filed is Robert Weinroth, giving him a full three year term to serve The City of Boca Raton. Weinroth was elected in 2014 to finish out the last year of ex-Councilman Anthony Majhess’ term, after Majhess decided to run

for mayor. Deputy Major Constance Scott is termlimited, leaving Seat C open to one of four candidates filed. The candidates for Seat C are Frank Chapman, Armand Grossman, Jeremy Rodgers and Jamie Sauer. The municipal election will be held on March 10, 2015. City residents can opt to Vote By Mail by requesting an Absentee Ballot, online, from the Palm Beach County

Supervisor of Elections, Susan Bucher, at https://www.pbcelections.org/genericform.aspx?id=5 or by voting, in person, on March 10th. Early Voting will not be offered for the municipal election. Only one Council seat will appear on the ballot making it likely the turn-out will be lighter than last year when a majority of the Council (Mayor & two City Council Mem-

bers) was on the ballot. The winner of the election for Council Seat C and Robert Weinroth will be sworn in on March 31st and will join Mayor Susan Haynie, Council Members Michael Mullaugh and Scott Singer for the Organizational Meeting, immediately thereafter.

Palm Tran Promises Improved Service in Boca By Fred Hamilton

Public transport is on the mend in Boca Raton. Palm Tran riders will see improved bus services on two routes, including one that travels through the city, Palm Beach County officials have announced. Beginning Jan. 11, two buses will be added to Route 1, which runs along US 1 from Palm Beach Gardens to Boca Raton on weekdays, officials said. This change will keep buses on schedule and improve overall route performance,

Boca Church, General Contractor To Pay $2.56 Million in Sidewalk Accident By CRA News Service

The Diocese of Palm Beach and a general contractor must pay $2.56 million to a parishioner who crushed her knee in a fall on a new sidewalk that lacked a nonslip coating at a Boca Raton church, the Boca Raton Tribune has learned. Palm Beach Circuit Judge Meenu Sasser denied defense motions for remittitur (to reduce or throw out) or a new trial and entered final judgment on Oct. 24 after deductions for health insurance coverage and taxable costs. The judge, four days later, granted Andrea Thompson’s motion for entitlement to attorney fees based on a 2012 settlement proposal that was rejected. The defense filed a notice of appeal, according to recently obtained documents. Thompson, then 34, was walking to morning Mass on Sept. 27, 2009 when she slipped and fell forward on a newly constructed sidewalk, shattering a kneecap, according to court documents. Hunter Construction admitted it failed to put a non-skid surface on the sidewalk that had been laid roughly two months before Thompson fell, according to court documents. Thompson, in July 2010, sued the Diocese of Palm Beach, which operates the church; Hunter Construction Company, the general contractor responsible for the sidewalk

officials said. Route 1 has an average of more than 8,000 passengers daily, the most ridership of any Palm Tran route, officials said. Several changes will be made to the limitedstop Route 40, which will begin to offer all-day service on weekdays between Belle Glade and West Palm Beach along State Road 80 and via Wellington. “In order to streamline the route, two of the four trips between Belle Glade and Pahokee with the lowest ridership were eliminated, as well as an extra loop of

downtown West Palm Beach,” according to a Palm Tran news release. The route will begin in the Glades and end at the Intermodal Transit Center in downtown West Palm Beach where passengers can connect to several other Palm Tran routes and Tri-Rail. These routing changes, plus additional running time added to the schedule will improve Route 40’s on-time performance and efficiency.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

Another Embarrassing Chapter in the King Family’s History As we approach the 32nd observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s Day, I can only imagine that the man revered as the apostle of nonviolence must be rolling over in his grave at the disgrace that his money-hungry kids have brought upon his legacy. Those dysfunctional children are at it again. In the latest chapter of this ugly legal fight, Dr. King’s estate, controlled by sons Dexter King and Martin Luther King III are squabbling with their sister Bernice in an Atlanta courthouse for control over two precious items that belonged to their father, his Bible and Nobel Peace Prize medal. It will take a judge to decide which party will get the right to own “Daddy’s Bible.” Dr. King preached about character - unfortunately, something his children lack – and I am sure he showed it in his home. And while one may argue that they were too young to learn right from wrong when an assassin’s bullet cut his life short on April 4, 1968, they are old enough now to know you just don’t do that – especially if you are a child of Dr. King and more so, god.

This is at least the fifth lawsuit between the siblings in the past decade, but this one crosses the line. Dr. King’s heirs parted with parts of his legacy in 2006 when they put his papers on the auction block. But before auction day, a group of anonymous buyers stepped in and paid $32 million for the 10,000 manuscripts and books, including drafts of his “I Have a Dream” speech. That collection is now housed at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Dr. King’s alma mater. Two years later, Bernice, an ordained minister, and Martin III sued their sibling, Dexter, contending that he had improperly transferred substantial money from the estate of their late mother, Coretta Scott King, to his own company for his own use. That lawsuit was quietly settled before trial. And let’s not forget they tried to line their pockets with proceeds from the construction of the Washington, D.C. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial. When Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity erected an impressive statue of Dr. King on the

National Mall – the first monument to an African American on the Mall – instead of being gracious, they saw dollar signs. They have charged the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation more than $3 million in licensing fees to allow the foundation to use Dr. King’s words and likeness in fundraising appeals and as part of the memorial complex itself. I concur with those who say that there is no justification for selling either of these sacred items. These are two precious items that should never be exchanged for money in the marketplace. You just don’t sell Bibles and you don’t get but one Nobel Peace Prize. There are some items that you just don’t put a price on. This was the same old tattered Bible, which Dr. King took on the road with him and was used to swear in President Barack Obama for his second term. And Dr. King was awarded the medal in 1964 for his nonviolent campaign against racism. Two separate appraisers think they could get between $5 million to $10 million for

the medal based on what other Nobel medals have gone for and Dr. King’s place in history. They expect to pull in at least $200,000 and possibly more than $400,000 for the Bible. It could probably go for about $1 million. If they are sold through a private sale, which can bring substantially higher sums from buyers before they get to auction, the medal alone could fetch between $15 million and $20 million. In retrospect, why are we surprised by these antics? Siblings of a famous patriarch fight daily and they even sue for less than the almighty dollar. But the disputes of the King siblings are tearing apart family ties and friendships forged during some of the most harrowing battles of the civil rights movement. It’s time someone take charge and help these kids grow up, because for all the goodwill the King name brings, I am exasperated.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Leaders are Necessary in Every Field! Although I have never been a leadership guru, nor ever desire or plan to be one, through the years I’ve been examining the theories of several legitimate experts on the subject. I also have closely observed the practices of several who wished to be viewed as leaders, which only some legitimately could be! Leadership is necessary in every sector of human endeavors. Leaders are the human instruments necessary to provide direction to a cause, or to an enterprise, if these are to move ahead, make a significant contribution, and leave a valuable legacy behind, having achieved its purpose!

A leader, as such, leads through motivation, by example, with encouragement, and in providing to followers healthy strategies which enable and ensure them in reaching the desired goals. It must be a capable, reliable individual who is unafraid to be visible, and be noticed always en route to where the followers need to proceed in the direction leading to ultimate success! That’s why the physical image of a leader is someone consistently on the go, moving decisively forward, with one or more advancing right behind, all proceeding in the same direction! If no one is following, that person is not leading; such individual

may have the title, may be viewed by some as such, but leadership is far more than a mere designation applied to someone; it’s a major task with a definite destination and a set time frame! Some leaders may be just appointed to that role, based on demonstrated knowledge, abilities, and past results; others may choose that position for themselves, being able to convince key persons of their expertise and capacity to accomplish what that role entails and demands. True leadership should never originate merely through preferential treatment of a friend or relative; it should not necessarily

be a hereditary position, much less a mere prize for certain favors provided on behalf of anyone powerful enough to make that appointment. The ability of getting along with others, of handling finances wisely, of making difficult decisions with utmost caution and demonstrated wisdom, besides clear directives to all followers, are among the most essential pre-requisites for effective leadership at any level, in any field of human endeavor. Ultimately, a leader must know where he is going and cautiously remain on course to arrive at the proposed destination!

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.

Boca Raton Museum of Art Presents 29th Annual Art Festival

Continue from page 1

Our goal is to select the highest caliber of art and present it in the spectacular outdoor setting of Mizner Park,” says Irvin Lippman, Executive Director, Boca Raton Museum of Art. Visitors to the festival who donate a minimum of $5 to the Art School’s Scholarship Fund will receive complimentary admission to the Museum. Donations will be accepted at the admission desk. On view at the Boca Raton Museum of Art during the festival will be Izhar Patkin: The Wandering Veil, Surrealism and Magic, Abstraction on Paper, and the Museum Art School Faculty Exhibition. Walter O’Neill, Director of the Boca Raton Museum Art School will judge this year’s festival along with Allan Pierce (photographer, instructor at the Art School and member of the Artists’ Guild) and Ralph Papa (plein air artist and a member of the Artists’ Guild). The artist selected as Best in Show will receive $3,000 and nine Merit Awards of $1,000 each will be presented. Mr. O’Neill joined the Boca Raton Museum Art School as Director in April of 2014 after relocating from New York City where he had served as Director of the Educational Alliance Art School and Gallery since 1997. Previously, he was Supervisor of School Programs at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, an educator at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu and taught fresco painting at The Cloisters in New York. In 2014, the museum’s Curator of Collections, Marisa Pascucci awarded the top prize

to Estelle Fransbergen, a sculptor from LaCrosse, Indiana. The recipients of the Merit Awards hailed from Colorado, Ohio, Louisiana, New York, and Florida. The 29th Annual Outdoor Juried Art Festival is presented by the Museum in partnership with the City of Boca Raton, Palm Beach County Cultural Council, and the Palm Beach County Tourism and Development Council. Founded in 1950 by the Art Guild of Boca Raton, the Museum’s collections, innovative exhibitions, and educational programming are international in scope and reflect the creative expression of the Florida region. In 2001, the Boca Raton Museum of Art moved into its new home in the heart of Mizner Park. The Art School, located nearby on West Palmetto Park Road (the Museum’s original location), offers more than 100 weekly classes in a variety of media for adults and children. The Artists’ Guild remains a strong auxiliary of the Museum with more than 350 artist-members who actively exhibit throughout the area and whose work may be seen at the Artists’ Guild Gallery on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. Exhibitions on view January 26 – April 5, 2015 include Izhar Patkin: The Wandering Veil, Surrealism and Magic, Abstraction on Paper, and the Museum Art School Faculty Exhibition. Opening April 21 through July 12, 2015 will be Helena Rubinstein: Beauty is Power. For additional information please visit the website at bocamuseum.org.

Boca Black Hat Diva’s Enjoy Tavolino Della Notte 17 Boca Raton Black Hat Diva’s attended a wonderful luncheon in Coral Springs at Tavolino Della Notte. They were served calamari and bruschetta appetizers, followed by Caesar Salad, and then two different pasta dishes, one with vodka sauce and one with white clam sauce. The main entrees consisted of baked salmon, chicken marsala, veal and eggplant parmigiana and dessert was anisette cookies and cannoli pastries. Truly a fabulous Italian Feast.

The best seats in the house for “The Lion King,” playing through Feb. 1, are on the aisle. That’s where actors and amazing puppets make their entrance in a procession of animals that goes down the aisles and up onto the stage. It’s a show that starts with a peak and stays there. I was in the second row, aisle seat for this spectacular pageant of exquisite costumes, clever giant puppets, muscular male dancers and sinewy, lithe female dancers. “Lion King” is a feast for the eyes and ears. In a literal surround-sound effect there are two drummers stationed at the lower front balcony of both sides of the theater. Percussion is a large part of the score, by Elton John and Tim Rice. The real genius of the production is Julie Taymor, who became the first woman to win the Tony Award as Best Director in 1998. She also designed the show’s costumes, co-designed the masks and puppets with Michael Curry, and contributed to the score’s African-influenced

music and lyrics. Though it is based on a 1994 Walt Disney animated movie aimed at the younger audience, “Lion King” has moral lessons pertinent to all ages. Basically it is a comingof-age story about Simba (Jordan A. Hall alternating with Tre Jones as a cub and Jelani Remy as a regal (and well-muscled) adult. It is also a love story between Simba and his lioness girlfriend Nala (Ny Cymone Carver alternating with Tyah Skye as a cub; Nia Holloway as an adult). There is plenty of humor in the story of Simba’s parent Mufasa (L. Stephen Taylor) and Sarabi (Tryphena Wade) and their madcap court, which inclues a wisecracking bird-like advisor Zazu (Drew Hirschfield); the meerkat Timon (Tony Freeman) and the pudgy warthog Pumbae (Ben Lipitz). Every Disney story needs a villain. This one has a dandy one in Mufsa’s scheming younger brother Scar (Patrick R. Brown) and his ravenous hyena confederates. This is the third or fourth “Lion King” I’ve seen since it first came to South Florida 12 years ago. This may be the best one yet, with four of the principals coming directly from Broadway.

life insurance 2.0

A ‘Do-Over’ or A New Start?

For each of us, the end of another year can mean different things. Some businesses base their fiscal years on the annual calendar, so for them it is a time for assessing the year just concluded as well as planning and forecasting for the year about to start. Many of us will look back over the year and recall our triumphs and defeats, our joys and discouragements. Some will reflect happily, thinking of many positive things they experienced over the past 12 months. Others will take an attitude of “good riddance,” glad to say farewell to a year littered with disappointments and unfulfilled hopes and dreams. There are those who will view the past year with regrets, longing for a “do over,” an opportunity to redo poorly advised things they did or unfortunate words they spoke. And others will regard the end of one year and the birth of another as an opportunity for a new start, a chance to create new goals and pursue new resolutions. As you prepare to start a new calendar, counting off the final days of this year, what are your thoughts? Pleased with the past year and looking ahead at the new year with great anticipation? Relieved the past year is at its end, hopeful the new year will be better? Expecting to build on foundations you established over the year past, expecting to see bigger and better things over the year to come? Regardless of which perspective you are holding, the Bible offers some helpful guidelines as we (ready or not), make the transition from one year to the next: Build on the past for a better future. Strange as it seems, we often learn best through struggle and failure. It can be easier to identify what went wrong, so moving forward we resolve not to repeat the same

mistakes. “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything” (James 1:2-4). Do not dwell on the past. We can learn from the past, but dwelling on it can result in emotional paralysis. Wrongs in the past cannot be undone, as the apostle Paul knew so well. So he determined to keep looking forward, focused on the mission God had given him. “Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14). Prepare carefully before proceeding. We can devise plans and set goals, but are they the right ones? The Scriptures urge us to turn to God for wisdom on how to proceed - and when. “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5). Proceed in faith. Often we pray, asking God for wisdom and direction, then immediately begin to question whether the way He seems to be leading us is the way we should go. Faith is not just a matter of asking; it is being willing to accept and act on whatever He reveals. “But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does” (James 1:6).

January 16 - 22, 2015

The future of the life insurance industry has arrived. Every aspect of it is benefitting from creative destruction, separating the winners from the rest who continue to resist progress. Your current life insurance policies are outdated, unless you are part of a small percentage of people with underwriting issues that prevent you from receiving standard coverage. In other words, it is likely that your existing policies are antiquated, especially whole life, universal life and variable policies. It does not matter that you bought them within the past 5, 10 or 20 years, when you were younger. You are paying too much for too little. Be a winner. Based on 30 years of experience and after reviewing thousands of inforce policies, it is safe to say that most people can do better. To upgrade and enhance your coverage, you must begin making wise choices: • Trade up for a policy that allows you to draw against the face value of the policy in the event of a critical, chronic or terminal health problem. • Consider a policy without commissions for cash accumulation policies. These policies eliminate or minimize built-in loads and surrender charges. They perform better when it matters. • Turn a $2,000,000 policy into a $4,000,000 policy so your kids don’t turn it into zero. You can nearly double the face amount by telling the insurance company you want the installment payout option which creates a guaranteed income stream paid to your beneficiaries over time. • Private financing can be a powerful strategy to borrow premium payments and keep your capital at work. Don’t get stuck on labels. Should you buy term or whole life? Instead, you should consider a flexible premium and flexible duration policy that will let you keep it as long as you need it to last. Many feel that permanent insurance is too expensive – term doesn’t take you far enough. With a flexible premium policy, you decide if and when you don’t need coverage any longer, not the insurance company. Ask most 50-something’s if they miscalculated about how long they needed the term policy they last purchased. The need for life insurance should be viewed along the spectrum of a

lifetime. At 30, it’s about protecting income for your family. At 50, it’s about protecting income, business purposes and wealth preservation. At 70, the “need” shifts to wealth preservation and legacy issues. Your old life insurance policies served you well but chances are you can do better. If you are in good health today, including those of you with previous heart disease, 20 extra pounds or well managed high blood pressure, you can improve your coverage. “I am older now,” is not a valid reason for hanging on to outdated policies. It is intuitive thinking; it’s just not accurate. Life Insurance policies today are superior for many reasons: • Increasing life expectancy and more people reaching life expectancy. • Increased competition between life insurance companies. • A secondary market that has spurred carrier innovations. Since the financial crisis in 2007, innovation has been called upon by a growing number and led by a committed few. It is impossible to accurately predict what meaningful and lasting change will occur from this long, overdue culture of innovation. With this column, my goal is to continue raising awareness about the worthy products, trends and life insurance concepts that have arrived. I am NOT suggesting that a person should arbitrarily give up existing coverage for new coverage. I AM suggesting that every life insurance consumer review their inforce policies on a regular basis, starting today. It should be done with guidance from a life insurance professional – there is no upside to go at it alone. Life Insurance 2.0. The next several decades will be defined by constant, meaningful change. The future will include products that are defined by flexibility, disclosure and a “customer-first” focus. Let go of the pre-conceived ideas you have about life insurance such as “I’m all set” or “I bought insurance 5 years ago” or “I only buy term.” That’s how you win in Life Insurance 2.0.

Historic ‘Stop the Violence’ March, Rally Seek to Help Reduce Violent Crime in Delray

By Fred Hamilton

About 100 people and police joined forces in a striking show of solidarity on Saturday and marched in protest of the violence plaguing their community. Escorted by police officers, the demonstration began at 9 a.m. with the one-mile march from Village Academy on SW 12th Avenue north to Atlantic Avenue, east one block and south through the neighborhood to Catherine Strong Park, where a rally was

held. Many marchers waved placards as a man, with a bullhorn chanted “Stop the Violence” and other anti-violence slogans led the procession. Motorists honked their horns and onlookers cheered. “It’s very important to have rallies like this. It brings our youth also the officers together and to support a really, really good cause,” said Ricky Petty, basileus of Lambda Alpha Alpha chapter of Omega Psi Phi fraternity in South Palm Beach County. “It speaks volumes because when you see

young people come together for something important like this, it lets you know they are concerned about the issues that are going in the community.” There was not much mention of the recent tension between police and citizens across the nation. Instead, much attention was devoted to the bloodshed in the city that dates back to 2009 but flared up in recent months. A feud between some members of three Delray Beach families culminated in 14 shootings between May and November, causing two deaths and injuring multiple innocent victims, including two children. Participants included top police brass, members of the local clergy, fraternities, educators and civic leaders. Among the police officials were assistant chiefs Mary Olsen, Javaro Sims, captains Michael Coleman and John Palermo and Lt. John Crane-Baker. Several other officers were in attendance. “It’s important for us to get our message out that as a community, violence is not a solution to conflict,” Olsen said during the march. “Innocent people die when you act violently and shoot each other and don’t handle things by using your voice or words to explain how you feel or how you feel you were wronged. It’s very important because there are a lot of young people needlessly

Boca Businessman, Former NFL Player Details His Story of Survival at Sea By Jason Schwartz

Boca Raton businessman and former Miami Dolphins fullback Robert Konrad says several jellyfish bit him and sharks circled him after he fell off a boat while fishing and swam about nine miles to shore recently. “I shouldn’t be here,” Konrad, a partner in a financial consulting firm in Boca, told reporters at a news conference. “I’ve been a boater my whole life, been around water and snorkel, dive and swim. After 16 hours in the water and … after some time, I just said, “Look, I’m not dying tonight. I have two beautiful daughters. I’m hitting shore.” Konrad had gone fishing alone Jan. 7 after being dropped off at a dock downtown Boca Raton around 1 p.m. The Syracuse University graduate, who was drafted by the Dolphins and played for them from 1999 to 2004, was fishing offshore when he fell from his 36-foot Grady White as he was trying to reel in a fish around 3 p.m. Facing darkness, 10-foot waves, 25-mile-perhour winds, and with his boat moving away about 5 mph on autopilot, he started out to swim for shore without a life jacket. He was bitten by jellyfish and circled by sharks twice. Konrad said he “prayed to God” to send a boat or Coast Guard while alternating between the breaststroke and backstroke. “I realized I was in some real trouble but I kept saying I can do this. I’m going to swim all night and I’m going to hit shore.” Palm Beach police said he showed up at 4:47 a.m. the following day at 1800 S. Ocean Blvd., barefoot, wearing only his jockey

underwear, and knocked on the gate of the late attorney Bob Montgomery’s ocean-side mansion. An officer working an off-duty security detail called for paramedics. Konrad’s personal assistant called the Coast Guard to report him missing at midnight, and they launched a helicopter to look for him. They called off the search once they got word that Konrad was found. Konrad’s boat was located off Dead Man’s Reef in Grand Bahama Island on Friday afternoon, the autopilot device still on, Coast Guard officials said. “He was lucky he was able to swim nine miles throughout the night in the dark in the frigid waters,” U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Mark Barney said. “He was pretty exhausted.” Konrad told the Coast Guard and police that he was in the water for about 10 to 12 hours. He also said he saw the Coast Guard helicopter’s search light, but they did not see him in the choppy, 70-degree water. The 38-year-old was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where he was treated for possible hypothermia. “It is just incomprehensible that this gentleman survived actually, because your temperature is going to drop,” Dr. Scott McFarland with the Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center told WPBF-TV. “It’s almost guaranteed he has muscle damage, muscle cell breakdown, rhabdomyolysis that injures your kidneys, but it’s a testament to a strong heart and a tough body and wickedly strong constitution that he made it.”

losing their lives.” Sims encouraged attendees to keep the momentum going. “You can’t let this be the start and also the end of this movement,” Sims said. “Let’s continue to move forward from here. We’re all affected by crime in our community, because eventually it’s going to come your way.” While some participants grumbled at the absence of elected leaders, others said they were glad to see the police presence. At the rally, several speakers echoed the need for parents to be positive role models for their children and for the community to support the police in their crime-fighting efforts. “We all got to work as one,” said Prentice Mobley, an employee with the Parks and Recreation Department and event organizer. “We got to support the police and the fire departments in this effort. We all got to function together in society together. It’s all about unity.” This story was reported by Trevon Parrish, 12, Village Academy; Kevon Grice, 7th grader at Loggers Run Middle School and Lorenzo English, 5th grader at Pine Grove Elementary.

When a Will Is Ripe for Revision Some types of pears and other fruit don’t change color as they ripen; you have to feel the softening. If you wait too long, you’ll eat overly sweet fruit or have to throw it away. Similarly, if your will has been safely tucked away for a while, it may have passed its peak financial efficiency unnoticed. A will that has been signed and witnessed stays valid until the time — if ever — when you revoke it. Your financial condition may have changed in ways your will doesn’t reflect. But unless you do something about it, your property will be transferred someday according to the provisions of your will. Changes That May Call for Revisions What kinds of changes can affect your will? Your estate may no longer look the way it did when you wrote your will — if your in-

vestments have grown, for example, or you have acquired additional assets. You may no longer own some of the assets that your present will transfers. There may have been family changes: marriages, divorces, deaths of heirs, births of possible additional heirs, and children or grandchildren reaching financial independence. And your present executor or personal representative may no longer be available to act for your estate. It might take only one such change to compromise your estate plan. So your will needs a periodic professional review to make sure it stays in line with your family’s needs and your financial circumstances. It’s easy to put this review off, but if you delay, your assets could be distributed in a way that conflicts greatly with your current desires. Don’t risk it.

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!

The Boca Raton Tribune

sports Hometown Hero Set To Return To Major League Soccer Hometown hero, Jozy Altidore is set to return to his Major League Soccer roots. According to Boca Raton Tribune sources, Toronto FC has agreed to send striker Jermain Defoe to Sunderland AFC in exchange for U.S. Men’s National Team striker Jozy Altidore and cash considerations. TSN, who also broke the news earlier in the day, has said the cash consideration Toronto will receive is believed to be significant. After just one season in MLS, Defoe is set to sign a three and a half year deal with Sunderland worth $129,000.

Defoe had a stellar start to his MLS career, scoring eight goals in nine starts, but after being left out of England’s World Cup squad, Defoe’s production began to decline due to a nagging groin injury. Defoe finished the season with 11 goals in 19 appearances. For Altidore, a return to MLS might be just what the USMNT striker needs to get his groove back. Drafted with the 17th overall pick by the MetroStars (now Red Bulls) in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft, the 25-year-old spent two

and a half seasons in MLS, scoring 15 goals in 37 league appearances before La Liga side Villarreal splashed $10 million to sign the then-18-year-old. While Altidore undoubtedly struggled in his stints in England (one goal on loan to Hull City in 2009-10, three goals with Sunderland from 2013-15), Altidore found the back of the net 51 times in two seasons for Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar, the club he was with before moving to Sunderland.

FAU Track & Field To Open Season at Art and Linda Maillet UNC Open The Florida Atlantic University women’s track and field team will open the season at the Art and Linda Maillet UNC Open on Saturday, Jan. 17 at 9 a.m. in Chapel Hill, N.C. Teams competing: More than 25 colleges and universities were invited to participate in the meet. Some of the teams competing include Flagler, UNC-Greensboro, FIU, Southern Wesleyan, Troy, Norfolk State, and College of Charleston. Events: In the 60m dash, sophomore

The Florida Atlantic University women’s basketball team saw its three-game winning streak snapped on Saturday as Middle Tennessee downed the Owls 101-69 in Conference USA action. MT’s 101 points is the most allowed by FAU in a home game since Pittsburgh picked up a 101-87 victory on Dec. 7, 2002. Sophomore Shaneese Bailey, who posted 29 point games in each of FAU’s last two outings, led the Owls (8-6, 2-1 C-USA) with 27 points and seven rebounds. FAU freshman Sasha Cedeno scored a career-high 15 points, all of which came in the second half. MT’s Cheyenne Parker had a career night

Regina Wilkerson will be the veteran in the event accompanied by freshmen Assata Trader, Sherline Valentin, Crystal McDougle and Cassidy Smith. Berneta Boldin, cousin of San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin, will compete in the 200m dash along with Trader, Valentin and Mar’Rhea Everheart. Sophomores Sitia Martinez and Deja Jones will bring their expertise to the 400m dash joined by freshman Marianne Løeken. On the distance side, the one mile will

feature senior Tara Cripe, junior Kia HellerSpencer, and newcomers Liz Wellman and Amélie Svensson. Two-time Conference USA Cross Country Athlete of the Week Chloe Sell will run in the 3,000m together with Australian transfer Sophie Walker and sophomores Clare Brinkman and Brittany Garesio. Norwegian-native Frida Thorsås will make her debut in the 60m hurdles joined by sophomore Ashley Stewart, Smith, and McDougle. Stewart will be FAU’s only com-

petitor in the high jump. Thorsås, Everheart, and McDougle will try to make an impact in the long jump. The Owls will feature three teams in the 4x400m relay, with the first comprised of Martinez, Thorsås, Wilkerson and Jones. The second group will be Boldin, Løeken, McDougle, and Stewart, and the third group includes Cripe, Heller-Spencer, Svensson, and Wellman.

FAU Women’s Basketball Falls 101-87 with 26 points and 18 rebounds while Olivia Jones led the Blue Raiders with 27 points on the night. The Blue Raiders (9-4, 3-0 C-USA) shot 50 percent from the field and made 12 three-pointers while scoring 48 points in the paint. MT’s three-pointers, free throws, and points in the paint combined for 99 of its 101 points. “We knew that they were going to be good down low and it’s a problem for us,” FAU Head Coach Kellie Lewis-Jay said. “Kat [Wright] played her heart out and did a great job, but they have talented kids that are hard to stop.”

Nineteen of Bailey’s points came in the first half, but she was just one of three Owls to score in the opening frame, joining Kat Wright’s 10 andMalia Kency’s two points. Bailey scored 11 of FAU’s first 13 points and a fast-break layup by Kency gave the Owls their largest lead of the game at 19-14 midway through the first half. An 11-0 run over the next two minutes followed by a 19-0 run in the closing minutes of the half put the game in the hands of the Blue Raiders who led 53-31 at the intermission.

Lynn Men’s Basketball Erases 19-Point Deficit to Stay Undefeated in the SSC

The Lynn University Fighting Knights are off to their best Sunshine State Conference Start since the 2005-06 season after a 71-63 overtime win against Eckerd on Saturday. Lynn improves to 10-2 overall and 4-0 in SSC action while the Tritons are 8-5 overall and 2-2 in conference play. Cory Thomas and Russell Wilson had career-high nights with 13 and 10 points, respectively. Five members of the Lynn squad scored in double figures while EC’s Jerrick Stevenson had a game-high 18 points and 11 rebounds. Lynn rushed off to a quick start taking the lead after Russell Wilson stole the ball and finished with a fast-break layup to put the Blue & White on the board first. With 7:49 to go in the first half, the Fighting Knights led 18-12. Cory Thomas made a free throw to complete a three-point play and tie the game 21-all with 5:50 to go. Eckerd went on a 11-0 to take a 32-21 lead with under a minute to go in the first half. Johnson drained a trey to halt the run but Eckerd added two more points to lead 34-24 at the break. Eckerd shot 57.1 in the first half and was led by Stevenson who led all scorers with nine points. Cory Thomas led the Fighting Knights with seven points and three blocks helping his team to shoot 34.6 percent from the floor. EC out-rebounded the Blue & White 23-7 in the half with 17 defensive rebounds. Eckerd extended its lead to 19 points in the opening minutes of the half. The Fighting Knights slowly battled back and closed the deficit to 13 with 13:09 remaining in regulation. A jumper by Thomas at 9:28 put Lynn within a 10-point frame. Fred Landers made a huge block with eight minutes to go

followed by a jumper from Harrison which put the Fighting Knights within eight, 5042. A pair of free throws by Wilson with 2:21 left in regulation put the Blue & White within one, 55-54. Raickovic was fouled on a defensive rebound sending him to the line to shoot a pair of free throws. He connected on both the put Lynn ahead for the first time since the first half, 56-55, with 1:30 to go. Lynn led 58-55 with 16 seconds left to play but Eckerd’s Stevenson hit a three-pointer with three seconds left to tie the game 58-58. A last second shot by Wilson from the opposite end of the court didn’t connect and the Fighting Knights and Tritons headed to overtime. Lynn outscored Eckerd 13-6 in the overtime period. Ben Berry scored a pivotal three-pointer with 1:56 to go put the Blue & White ahead by two, 65-63. Seconds later Berry stole the ball from Stevenson and finished with a fast break slam dunk to give Lynn the four-point lead. Four successful free throws by Fred Landers in the final minute held off the Tritons for Lynn to escape with the 71-63 win. The Fighting Knights made 23-of-26 shots from the charity stripe to shoot 88.5 percent from the free throw line in the win. Eckerd out-rebounded Lynn, 48-30, and shot 41.1 percent from the field. Five Knights scored in double-figures as Cory Thomas had a career-high 13 points, five rebounds and three blocks. Aaron Harrisonwas a rebound shy of a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds. Berry had 11 points while Wilson and Raickovic each had 10 points.

Fighting Knights Return to Division II Men’s Basketball Media Poll

It’s only fitting that the Lynn University men’s basketball team is back in the Division II Media Poll this week after a pair of big Sunshine State Conference wins. Lynn, who is 20th in the nation and third in the South Region, is one of three SSC schools in the top-25. The Fighting Knights (10-2) are 4-0 in the SSC for the first time since the 2005-06 season. “It’s good to see our team bounce back and play well the last couple of weeks to put ourselves in that position,” said head coach Jeff Price. “Being ranked is certainly an honor that we need to use as motivation to continue to climb.” Lynn was ranked 20th in the December 16th poll but dropped out after back-toback losses against Midwestern State and

Winston-Salem State. Since those losses, the Fighting Knights have won four-straight, most recently defeating Eckerd 71-67 in overtime. The Blue & White has no easy task at hand this week with a pair of road games at Palm Beach Atlantic (5-7) on Wednesday, January 14, and Saint Leo (10-5, 2-2 SSC) on Sunday, January 18. Sunday’s SSC game against the Lions will be broadcasted live on national television via CBS Sports Network as the Division II Game of the Week. Fans in the South Florida area can view the game on AT&T U-Verse and Century Link on Channel 643, (1643 in high-definition), Comcast Channel 744, Direct TV Channel 221 and Dish Network Channel 158.
