Horoscopes by Holiday for May 12

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Jupiter in Capricorn expands everything he touches, and today, shaking hands with the Taurus sun, our sense of well-being grows to the degree that we’re aligned with what it is we’re aiming toward. Sometimes meaningful accomplishment is a matter of goal-setting, but today it’s about asking for more. So where can you ask for more?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are those who love to provoke you — they can’t help themselves. You’re so much fun when you’re bothered. Decide not to take offense or get ruffled and they’ll stop. All they want is your attention anyhow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The best help you can get comes from someone whose own interests coincide with your perfectly. Find the one who, by helping you out, is actually helping himself immensely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Keeping the peace is easy when you understand the needs, wants, limits and talents of those around you. So getting along is mostly a matter of paying attention, and being curious about others — easy for you!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you are in a position where you need to move quickly to obtain or change something, you’ll wind up paying too much. The most patient person holds all of the power.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Part of you is thinking about the future of a relationship as you make decisions. You’re generous because it feels right to you, but also because you want the other person to be as loyal as you are.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (MAY 12). Relationships grow closer this year. The enduring love of your supporters will be highlighted as you adventure on together. You’ll also have fun with new characters who are introduced to your inner circle. A business risk or a daring move on the job results in more money by June. Travel sparks your imagination in October. Cancer and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 1, 44 and 17.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Work is demanding. The prize goes to the person who cares the most, or at least pretends to care the most. Higher-ups need validation and respect. They’ll look for it in your eyes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some of your core needs are not being met. It’s time to find new resources. When those close see that you’re serious about making a change, they just might step up with a new energy and eagerness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re a private person, especially when it comes to your creativity. However, this is no time to hide out. Show and share what you can do.

A life lived on purpose is a magnet for love. This is especially true for Capricorns who are deeply fulfilled by identifying their calling, then pursuing that to the ends of the earth. He is doing this — fabulous! My concern is, Capricorns can approach finding a mate with ambition equal to climbing a K2, which can be problematic (and disappointing). Love flourishes in an atmosphere of lighthearted play.

However, he does have innate skills useful in a soul mate strategy. Just as every ambitious Capricorn envisions a picture of what success looks like before they achieve it, intentionality precedes manifestation. So just as your son masterfully intends his life achievements into being, I’d suggest he picture his life partner, write it down, followed by the other thing Capricorn does best — hold out for the best. And don’t forget to trust that love is in the stars.

Wild Beast Feast surpasses expectations

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Beneath clear blue skies and in the cool shade of centuries old oaks, a large crowd of townsfolk and visitors from surrounding areas gathered at Veterans Memorial Park of Mayo to participate in the fourth annual Wild Beast Feast. The event, held Friday, March 21, was hosted by the Rotary Club of Mayo.

Since 2005, Rotary Club of Mayo has hosted the event in order to raise funds for youth scholarships. Last year, the festivities were held at Wyatt O’Steen’s arena on CR 353. During that event, approximately $9,000 was raised. This year, the event raised an estimated $10,000, after expenses, according to Steve Land, Rotary Club of Mayo member.

Lance Braswell, president of Rotary Club of Mayo, as well as others, felt this year’s Wild Beast Feast went quite well and exceeded expectations.

“With every Feast we have, we use the previous one to build and improve upon, and with each event, our volunteers get better at the process,” Braswell said. “I would say that this year went as smoothly as any, everyone knew their job and their role, and the whole event went as smoothly as I have seen.”

While listening to country, bluegrass and gospel music, everyone enjoyed a delicious, mouth-watering barbecue meal. The menu consisted of bacon-wrapped elk, venison, gator tail, frog legs, coleslaw, baked beans, hot dogs, and banana pudding for dessert.

Sheriff Carson McCall was in charge of gathering the meat and making sure everything was cooked before people arrived at the park.

Braswell thanks everyone who volunteered as well as the public for coming out to make Wild Beast Feast a huge success and for supporting the youth of our community. A special thanks goes out to the sponsors - Lafayette State Bank, First Federal, Anderson Columbia, Inc., Drummond Community Bank, Lafayette County Farm Bureau, Joe P. Burns Funeral Home, Progress Energy and M.M. Parrish Construction Company, says Braswell.

“Without the help of all our Rotarians and volunteers, we could never produce an event of this size and magnitude, and each year, we see more people pitching in to help make this event what it is,” Braswell said.

Rotary Club of Mayo is planning to host Wild Beast Feast at the park next year and hopes everyone returns for another fun-filled evening for the entire family.
