Dealing With Personal Hang-Ups!People who keep a catalog of hurts, and never stop adding new items to it con-stantly, will never be liberated from those avoidableafflictions.Theveryenumera-tion of them keeps the memory of those things alive, and very central in your daily walk, making it harder for you to move ahead in freedom!You will never enjoy peace of mind if you allow so much mental and emotional clutter from your past to occupy a per-manent, central space in your soul. Just delete, forget, and move on without this

harmful baggage! It’simperativetodiscardallnegativity,and create space for healthy, whole-some thoughts that can encourage you in moving forward without the unpleasant burdens of your past. You can only truly live in the present, not at any other period of time!Persons that allow negative emotions to rob them of genuine peace, bring greater hurts upon themselves than anyone else ever could. The pains one imaginarily create are toxic, and highly harmful.

Ultimately,youaretheonlyonewhocanbring such misery on yourself; you have no right to blame people or circumstanc-es for that! Keep in mind that the hurt you allow to fester in your life will not be only yours but will also affect others you interact with, on account of the negativity that those conditions engender.Like any physical malady, an emotional hurt requires immediate attention and prompt elimination. There are sound remedies you can utilize and apply, which

will bring you relief, as well as other pro-cedures which aid in restoring your sanity and joy!A basic path to take is not to allow such hurts to fester within you before you do something to correct the situation. Deal with each as swiftly as you can, and as wisely as you must! Life has better offers for you, any of which you can whole-heartedly embrace, move on, and model aa a sane life-style for others to consider and embrace!

Life is full of Surprises – Be PreparedLife is full of surprises. On Monday I found myself in a gymnasium attending the memorial service for Coach Roland Flynn,asupervisorandfixtureatDelrayBeach’sPompeyParkRecreationCenter,and a leader in the community.Noneof usexpectedtobethere–notonthat occasion, especially considering that Coach was not sick.As I listened to the tributes and words of encouragement,Ireflectedonthefrailty of life. I thought about the children Roland impacted on his last day at work. I thought about his coworkers who had no clue that when he said goodbye at the end of his shift, he meant it. I wondered if he had a chance to kiss Janice, his wife of 35 years, goodbye before he took his lastbreathonNov.29–twodaysafterThanksgiving.Coach’sdeathremindsmethatourdayson earth are represented as passing from us just as an eagle hasteth to her prey or

Imagine a vapor, curling up for a moment into some beautiful shape, and then dissolving into nothingnessorpictureashadow,flingingits bold outline across our path, and in an instant departing to leave no trace behind.Something to ponder!It was clear that from a very young age, Roland had a charming and magnetic personality, which drew everyone he came in contact with closer to him.He was always able to either put a smile onsomeone’sfaceorleftitintheirheart.Chances are, if you visited Pompey Park during the day, your path crossed with Roland’s.He did not mince his words. You knew

just where you stood with Roland and, there’snodoubt,hehadthelastword.He was stern, sometimes intimidating. “Stop bouncing that ball inside the build-ing,” he would say in his strong baritone voice to a child walking down the hallway after checking out a basketball to play with his friends. Only moments later, the proud father would be talking to that same child – making no reference to what happened earlier.“How are your grades coming along, son? I hope you are as good in school as you are on the court,” I recalled him say to the same child on a recent visit.He had a heart and a knack for working with young people.RolandgrewupinSavannahGa.,earningan education degree to teach physical education from then Savannah State Col-lege.

chANukAh’S TImELESS mESSAGES

By Rabbi Ruvi

Rabbi Ruvi is the new Director at Chabad of East Boca

Chanukkah FestivalTwenty-two centuries ago, when Israel was under the rule of the empire of Alexander theGreat,oneparticularleader,AntiochusIV, decided to force the pace of Helleni-sation, forbidding Jews to practice their religion and setting up in the Temple in Jerusalem a statue of Zeus Olympus.This was too much to bear, and a group of Jews, the Maccabees, fought for their religious freedom, winning a stunning victory against the most powerful army of the ancient world. After three years they reconquered Jerusalem, rededicated the Temple and relit the menorah with the one cruseof undefiledoiltheyfoundamongthe wreckage.It was one of the most stunning military achievements of the ancient world. It was, as we say in our prayers, a victory of the few over the many, the weak over the strong.It’ssummedupinwonderfullinefrom the prophet Zechariah: not by might nor by strength but by my spirit says the Lord. The Maccabees had neither might nor strength, neither weapons nor numbers. But they had a double portion of the Jewish spirit that longs for freedom and is pre-paredtofightforit.Neverbelievethatahandfulof dedicatedpeoplecan’tchangetheworld.Inspiredbyfaith, they can. The Maccabees did then. So canwetoday.AsSteveJob’swasfondof saying : “those who are foolish enough to believe they can change the world, are the one’swhodo”.One of the key phrases of our time is the clash of civilizations. And Chanukah isaboutoneof thefirstgreatclashesof civilization,betweentheGreeksandJewsof antiquity, Athens and Jerusalem.TheancientGreeksproducedoneof the

most remarkable civilizations of all time: philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, historians like Herodotus and Thucydides, dramatists like Sophocles and Aeschylus. They produced art and architecture of a beauty that has never been surpassed. Yet in the second century before the common era they were defeated by the group of Jewish fightersknownastheMaccabees,andfromthenonGreeceasaworldpowerwentintorapid decline, while the tiny Jewish people survived every exile and persecution and are still alive and well today.Whatwasthedifference?TheGreeks,whodidnotbelieveinasingle,lovingGod,gavethe world the concept of tragedy. We strive, we struggle, at times we achieve great-ness, but life has no ultimate purpose. The universe neither knows nor cares that we are here.Ancient Israel gave the world the idea of hope.WeareherebecauseGodcreatedusin love, and through love we discover the meaning and purpose of life.Tragic cultures eventually disintegrate and die. Lacking any sense of ultimate meaning, they lose the moral beliefs and habits on whichcontinuitydepends.Theysacrificehappiness for pleasure. They sell the future for the present. They lose the passion and energy that brought them greatness ion the firstplace.That’swhathappenedtoAncientGreece.Judaism and its culture of hope survived, and the Chanukah lights are the symbol of thatsurvival,of Judaism’srefusaltojettisonits values for the glamor and prestige of a secular culture, then or now.A candle of hope may seem a small thing, but on it the very survival of a civilization may depend.

10 CommandmentsOf Life InsuranceThefollowingfive

tips is a continua-tionfromlastweek’scolumnof the10mostimportant considerations when buying and reviewing life insurance. The goal is to help you avoid costly and easily avoidable land mines. However, at the risk of over-simplifying, these guidelines will be useful to all life insurance buyers, regardless of the amount or type of coverage you are buying.

6. Living Benefits. Are you a beneficiary of your own life insurance policy? A frequent complaint about life insurance isitslackof livingbenefitsfortheinsuredor policy owner. That is not the case today with more policies allowing you to draw against the face value in the event of a critical, chronic or terminal health event. A heart attack, bypass surgery or a severe strokecanallcreatefinancialhavoc.Longerterm health problems such as MS, Parkin-son’sandAlzheimer’salsocreatefinancialdifficultyforyourfamily.For example, if you purchase a $2,000,000 policywiththeselivingbenefitriders,youwill be able to draw up to a maximum of $1.5 million, depending on which type of health event you experience. For no ad-ditional premium, why continue to own a policy that offers nothing at a time you may need additional resources most?

7. Term Conversions.Talk about avoiding land mines: It is IM-PERATIVEtoknowtheconversiondead-line if you own a term policy or plan to buy term insurance. Most people underestimate, at the time of purchase, how long they need coverage. The conversion option within a term policy allows you to convert the policy to permanent coverage, without new medical evidence. Once this deadline passes, you will need to provide brand new medical evidence if you wish to keep the coverage after the term period. Staying aware of the conver-sion deadline is one more reason to regularly review your inforce coverage – See com-mandment #1.Fail to remember the conversion deadline and you will face skyrocketing premiums if you need coverage at that time.

8. Avoid or minimize surrender penalties.Life insurance gets a bad rap as an invest-ment vehicle. Life insurance, as an asset class, does not deserve this label. Life

insurance with severe surrender penalties has been the cause for the bad investment label. With surrender charges lasting up to 20 years in some cases, it becomes vulnerable to at-tack, causing the policy cash value to be zero in the early years.Rule: When buying life insurance for invest-ment purposes, make sure to demand illus-trations with little or no surrender charges. There are numerous methods for eliminat-ing or reducing surrender penalties. An experienced agent will provide alternatives upon request.

9. Buy only from an experienced profes-sional.LifeinsurancecompaniesDONOTselldirect-to-consumer; you must buy from a licensed agent. That agent may be someone you know, a digital agent or web site, a metal agent or kiosk or a stranger on the other end of a phone line. Whichever one of those you choose, that agent is compensated by the insurance company. With the exception of life insurance without commissions or no-load life insurance, insurance companies compensate agents through built-in commis-sions. Therefore, it is in your best interest to buy from an experienced professional who will counsel you through the process. You gain nothing by trying to “do it yourself ”. In fact, you will pay for something you do not use.

10. Consider universal life instead of term - ALWAYS.Realizing that I am going to hear from many of my peers, I cannot stress this enough. Traditional term insurance played an impor-tantroleinthepast30years.Unfortunately,ithassomefatalflawsthatcaneasilybeavoided and fortunately, some permanent policies provide the best of both worlds. Well priced permanent policies offer:• Very comparable premiums compared to term;•Noconversiondeadline–coverageaslongas needed;• Immediate surrender value = superior net cost.

Roots Cultural Festival Getting A New Lease On Life

By Keisha HarringtonThe Roots Cultural Festival, Inc., one of DelrayBeach’slongestrunningfestivals,isshowing signs of a rebirth.Organizers have infused new blood in the leadership ranks and have put together a schedule of events for next year.“We want the community to know that we are back and that we need the community to be more involved,” President Rhonda Turner Williams said. “This is something that has been missing for years. And the city is working with us to bring [the Roots Cultural Festival] back.”The tentative yearlong calendar kicks off with an event on Jan. 16 at Pompey Park. Othereventsoverthefirstsevenmonthsinclude a fashion show, a breakfast, a basketballtournament,ahealthandfitnessevent and an academic Olympic.ThenonprofitorganizationheldacarwashintheMcDonald’sparkinglot,14529S.Military Trail, on Saturday, Dec. 6. It will also hold a fundraising breakfast at Apple-bee’s,1720S.FederalHwy.,onSaturday,Dec. 13. Proceeds from the events will sup-port the Libby Wesley Weekend Celebra-tion, scheduled from Feb. 27 through Mar. 1, 2015. IdaElizabeth“Libby”Wesley,aretirededu-cator, cofounded the organization with a group of African American homeowners in her Jefferson Manor neighborhood in 1978. The festival began as a one-day event and at one time grew to a year-round celebration.The founders are in their late 70s or 80s and the new leaders are in their late 30s and 40s.On Saturday, organizers and students, who earned community service hours, spent much of the morning washing cars. Kristie Owens was among those who sup-ported the event.“She paved the way for many people by helping us celebrating our heritage,” Owens, 44, who lives in Boynton Beach, said of Wesley.Owens, a Delray Beach native, recalls the 24 years when Roots held a summer-long series of workshops, concerts and public events celebrating African and Caribbean cultures. The festival then culminated in August at Pompey Park.

In December 2000, the organization began holdingthefirstof afive-partclassicalseries in the Crest Theater at Old School Square Cultural Arts Center. The series fea-tured instructions for area children in vocal performance, piano, drama, string instru-ments and classes in classical dance.The program involved teaching minority children to read and perform classical music and art in 10-hour workshops. Following each workshop, the youth displayed their talents in a performance.The Festival also had a special addition to its 2000 kick off bash when the School District of Palm Beach County unveiled a new curriculum program focusing on teach-ing students African American culture and history.Theprogram,thefirstof itskindinFlorida, was in response to a state legislative mandate passed in 1994 requiring students from grades kindergarten through 12 to re-ceive instructions in the history and contri-butions of African and African-Americans in all subject areas.Organizers in 2001 changed the Roots Cul-tural Festival to a yearlong celebration with events sporadic throughout the year.The following year, organizers moved the event to Old School Square, a move which received objections from some. Attendance waned and the group accumulated $50,000 in debt. The festival eventually asked the city for about $10,000 to satisfy its debts.Organizers then scaled back the festival, focusing on basketball tournaments, the classical concert and the festival, which they returned in 2012 to the Community Rede-velopmentAgency’svacantpropertyinthe900 block of West Atlantic Avenue.The free event attracted several hundred at-tendees who braved inclement weather.Plansaretoholdnextyear’sfestivalatPom-pey Park and in 2016 move it back along West Atlantic Avenue from the amphithe-ater,namedinhonorof WesleyatNW5thAvenue, to the Delray Beach Tennis Center.“Our goal is to hold it at Pompey Park the firstyearthenhaveitonAtlanticAvenuefrom Checkers to the Tennis Center,” Williams said. “We can have the booths on the Avenue and bring the big artists to the Tennis Center.”

‘Super Human’ Fish Oil!Ivy league physicians affiliated with

Yale University believe their patented 4:1ratio of EPA/DHA omega-3s are the fu-ture of fatty-acid therapy and deliver al-most ‘super human’ results.

Prevention Pharmaceuticals, the makersof Omax3® Ultra PureTM, have decided togiveaway 1,000 boxes in a massive initia-tive to get consumers to try it.

“We believe one dose of this high per-formance 1.5g of omega-3 will changeyour opinion of fish oil with the dramaticresults,” says Terry Tormey, CEO of Pre-vention Pharmaceuticals.

Ultra Pure Formula EqualsSafety

Some supplements may contain morethan just omega-3. And some of that"extra" content you could do without,such as saturated fats, including un-wanted omega-6 fatty acids, and toxinslike mercury, lead, and PCBs commonlyfound in fish.

Freezer Test Proves PurityOmax3® was shown in lab tests to be 91%

pure, free of bad fats and toxins. You canprove this by freezing your own fish oil. Puta pill of your store bought brand of omega-3 in the freezer overnight. Then put Omax3®

Ultra PureTM in the freezer overnight.

The difference is clear. The storebought brand will be cloudy, even a solidwhite. This is caused by the bad fats andtoxins solidifying, which your body does-n’t need. Omax3® will remain clear, whichequals safety and effectiveness.

Fewer Pills Better ResultsThe patented delivery system gives

you 1.5g per serving in just two easy toswallow liquid gel capsules, compared tothe 6-12 you would need to take of astore bought formula. This means fewerpills equals greater results, you can feel.

Pharmaceutical StrengthYou now get the extreme health benefits

you deserve and at the lowest possibleprice and without the fish burps! If you’reworried about cholesterol, painful joints,

poor memory, or mood swings, this formulawill help or you don’t pay for it.

Doctor Recommended“As a neurosur-

geon I stand behindthe breakthrough of the 4:1 ratio of EPA/DHA that makes up Omax3®.It’s simply the mosteffective. The phar-maceutically-acti-

vated molecule maximizes absorption.Personally, I use Omax3® to keep my jointspain free as I still run marathons at age 74.I notice the mental boost. It’s your best anti-aging weapon because it protects yourheart, brain, and joints all in one pill.”

Stonebridge Golf And Country Club Won The Boca Cup Tournament For The Third Time

Inaugurated six years ago, The Boca Cup is an annual one-day competition among ten of the most prestigious country clubs in the Boca Raton area. After all the scoring was done, Stonebridge Golf andCountryClubandAddisonReserve were tied with a total of 192 in the 2014 Boca Cup. To decide the tournament each team chose two players to represent their respective team in the sudden death playoff. The Stonebridge team unanimously picked the twosome of Ron Bosco and Doug Bohner for the playoff which started on the 18th hole. The pressure started to build as the crowd increased around the 18th tee. Team Stonebridge won the coin

flipandhadthehonor.Leading off was Doug Bohner, who hit a pressure packed drive down the left center of the fairway and Ron Bosco followed with another tee shot down the middle putting the pressure on Addison Reserve to respond. That they did, hitting two tee shots down the middle of the 18th fairway as well. Ron Bosco was away for Stone-bridge and hit a great shot just right of the hole, but a gust of wind made his ball come up just short and came to rest in the bun-ker.NexttoplaywasDougBohner,whohit a fabulous shot, pin high, 20 feet right of thehole.Nowthepressurewasreallyonthe team from Addison Reserve, with both

of their players missing the green Team Stonebridge had the advantage. After the other three players played their third shots it was up to Doug Bohner, who responded with a great lag putt to within inches of the hole and tapped in for his par. Once the player from Addison lipped out his putt to tie the hole, the celebration began as Team Stonebridge successfully defended the Boca Cup.Competing with Stonebridge and Addison ReservewereBocaGroveCountryClub,Boca West Country Club, Broken Sound Country Club, The Polo Club of Boca Raton, Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club, St.AndrewsCountryClubandWoodfield

How To Eliminate The Dreaded Chicken Wing

Atimpact,you’llseealotof golfers,gener-ally slicers, shortening their arms to avoid hitting the ground early. The left elbow bends and then collapses even more shortly after impact, creating an arm that resembles a chicken swing.There are a number of ways to chicken wing, from helping the ball up in the air ( the spine angle comes up too much at im-pact ) to hanging onto the club too tightly, but the primary culprit is a poor transition. If you do not get your weight to your left side fast enough on the downswing, the clubhead will take a steep, out to in ap-proach into the ball, forcing you to stand up and bend your arms to avoid hitting the ground several inches behind the ball. This earlyextensionnotonlymakesitdifficulttocompress the ball and control the clubface, but it also causes the body to stop turning inacurcularfashion,whichsacrificesspeedandpower.If thehipsstoprotating,there’slittle room for the arms to extend, thus they have to separate even more, which increases the size of the chicken wing.If you come over the top, your hands will get pulled in close to your body on the follow-throughside.Asaresult,youwon’thave the room to extend your arms, thus narrowingtheswing’sarc(thedistancebetween the clubhead and your body) and significantlyreducingyourclubheadspeed.Much like the backswing, you want to cre-

ate as much width as possible between the butt of the club and your body. because this gives the clubhead more distance to travel and accumulate speed. SOJUSTHOWDOYOUGETTHISFULLEXTENSION?The most common mistake that golfers make is that they shift too much of their weight onto their right side on the back-swing, instead of staying centered over the ball with the right amount of shoulder tilt. This excess lateral movement, known as sway, gives people the sensation of being able to shift their weight back to their front sidebetter.Unfortunately,itoftenhastheopposite effect and causes a lack of for-ward movement, because your spine has to back up in order for you to get behind the ballandhitontheupswing.(WEareusinga driver here) Make sure your spine remains in its original inclination as you turn back, this will put you in the best position to move forward on the downswing.Provided your address posture remains intact, you should be able to keep rotating your hips, which is what gives your arms the space to swing down in front of your body and extend into the follow through. If you lose your posture and stand up at thestartof thedownswing,it’sveryhardtoturn and swing he club on the proper plane. That is the fastest, most powerful way to swing a golf club.Lastly if you want to break the wing, you need to keep your head behind the ball at impact, in relatively the same position it was in at address. Your head should never move forward of your original address position at impact, as this will cause you to lose your spine angle and bottom the clubhead out too soon, creating the bent arm, chicken wing position.For drills on eliminating the chicken wing, please contact Stan at 561-699-2616.
