HOROSCOPES by Holiday
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
know that fate can be cruel; you've
seen your share of it, up close and
personal. But you also know that
you're the only one who can play
your cards. Today you may have to
bluff a bit in order to play the game
well.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Winning today is a matter of know
ing who is on your team, who
needs to be won over and who is
never going to get there. If you don't
know who your enemies are, you're
at a disadvantage.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
won't be able to tell that you’ve won
them over. It's a tough crowd. Also,
this situation is rather political, and
people aren't in a position to show
everything that they are feeling about
you. Just wait and see, though.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Knowing that over the course of this
day your energy will get spent, you
are reticent to give it away to anyone
who's going to squander the gift. In
order to apply yourself well, you'll
have to be a little on the defensive.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It takes tre
mendous effort to overcome mental
limitations that have long served you
well. These rules you made for your
self kept you in a secure place. But
now you don't need them, and
they’re only holding you back.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When
it works, you want to analyze the
success so you can repeat the steps
and throw this recipe together again
and again. Don’t even bother with
this today. There’s a magic here that
can’t be quantified. Just enjoy it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What's
keeping you from your goal? Most
likely, you just haven’t answered the
question “Why?” What purpose will
this aim serve? Therein lies your
inspiration.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).Your
fantasy isn't as far off as you think it
is. Sure, there are still about 500
steps to take before you get your
first sign that it's “on,’ but rest
assured, these steps are all within
your ability.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Someone you admire will reach out
to you. it would be easy to respond
with an enthusiasm uncomfortable
for the other person to process,
which is why it’s very important to
play it cool today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Lifting things that are beyond the
typical weight you'd encounter in
daily life will build your muscles.
Doing things that fall outside of your
social and emotional comfort zone
will build your confidence.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
People want to get into great shape
for the social validation this will
bring, while in actuality the social
validation is nothing compared to
the enormous benefits that come
with increased vitality and self
esteem.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Is
someone trying to define you by
what you use or what you own?
Hopefully that someone isn’t you,
because of course these things don't
and could never define you at all.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 14).
There's part of you that wants so
much to amuse and delight. You will
— with your excellent choices,
effortless banter and drive to find
the entertaining qualities of life.
There will be a tricky pattern inter
rupt in January, and it's something
you’ll be grateful for for years after.
The excitement of May is a little
slice of heaven. Leo and Aries
adore you.

Howard Phillip “Bitt”
Thrower
Howard Phillip “Bitt”
Thrower, age 59, hit his
final homerun when he
entered the gates of heav
en on Tuesday, Oct. 11,
2016 after a heroic and
courageous battle with
cancer. He was born Oct.
7, 1957 in LaGrange, to
Mae Omie Hale Thrower
and the late John
Jefferson Thrower Sr.
Bitt was a 1975 gradu
ate of Troup High School
where he played varsity
basketball and was an
outstanding baseball
player. He was named
Troup County’s Player of
the Year his senior year.
He attended

Canton, league team and
hit 22 homeruns. During

LLC for over thirty years.
He was a tough, hard
working businessman. He
was a crowd pleaser, a
people person, and he
was always committed to
doing the job well.
Bitt was a mountain of
a man and had a phenom
enal memory. He was a
thinker and could talk to
anyone about anything at
any time. Needless to say,
his favorite topic was
sports. In addition to
sports, he loved the
Lord, his family, the
sunshine, his backyard
pools, the Florida beach
es and watching action
packed movies. His col
lection of DVDs was
massive. Bitt’s personal
ity attracted people to
him like a magnet.
Bitt had a kind and
caring heart and was
generous to a fault. He
would give the shirt off
his back to anyone who
needed it and did so
many times.
During his final three
and a half years of life,
he experienced an enor
mous amount of joy
being with his family.
He especially enjoyed
watching his twin
daughters, Calie and
Kalie, play basketball.
He was Great Day
Basketball’s #1 fan.
Bitt was a faithful and
devoted member of First
Baptist Church of
Cumming. Even in his
darkest hour, he never
failed to thank the Lord
for his blessings. At the
time of his passing, he
had read the entire Bible
more than four times.
Bitt is preceded in
death by his dad, John
Jefferson Thrower Sr.;
and brother, John
Jefferson Thrower Jr.
Those left to cherish
his memory and mourn
his passing are his son,
John Harley Thrower of
Cumming; daughters,
Amber Thrower
(Brandon Worley) of
Jonesboro, Calie
Thrower, and Kalie
Thrower both of
Cumming; mother, Omie
Thrower of Oxford; sis
