County recorder’s documents moving online

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said his department uses a great deal of resources transporting suspects and other people for mental-health evaluations and to or from facilities located outside the county due a lack of inpatient beds in Iowa.

Documents available through the County Recorder’s Office will soon be available to the public online. Jasper County Recorder Denise Allan was approved Tuesday by the board of supervisors to use the services of Cott Systems to host the information for $150 per month.

“I’ve been working with Cott, our software provider to make the recorder index, called E-Search available online to the public.

E-Search is a index of all documents recorded in Jasper County that relate to real estate, affidavits, Allan everything that is recorded into the recorder’s office goes into my index,” Allan said.

The online index will allow people who would normally have to go to the recorder’s office to access the index from their offices or homes 24-hours a days, seven days a week.

“These individuals include lawyers, bankers, abstractors, realtors, surveyors and the general public,” Allan said. “It is a progressive move by the office and it will provide the public with a beneficial service that meets today’s expectations.”

The county had two options for the online index, hosting it themselves or contracting the service with Cott. Jasper County Network Administrator Ryan Eaton agreed with Allan that letting Cott host the service would be the most cost effective RECORDS | 3A

Sheriff sees how psych issues, substance abuse closely tied

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Special Series

There are well-trained professionals and volunteers in Jasper County who are credited with making great strides in working with the mentally ill, but when there’s a patient in a serious crisis, who’s trained to deal with those cases, and who pays for those services?

More often than not, law enforcement is called in to deal with emergency mental health situations. While anyone can develop strong verbal de-escalation skills, police tend to have the equipment and authority to deal with most types of crisis situations.

Funding limitations in local, state and federal funding through the years led law enforcement agencies to pursue training and equipment from wherever it’s available. Other groups, such as National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, are trying to supplement law enforcement and the medical professions with grants and special programs.

Optimae Life Services’ Newton facility offers a variety of programs for clients, along with some that benefit the community as a

whole. Officers from the Newton Police Department will receive training in the months ahead in a new Optimae program that began Oct. 1. The program allows NPD, first-responders and other agencies to refer those in need of mental health assistance, substance abuse counseling, housing and other needs to Optimae.

Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess praises the referral program and its training.

“Optimae’s new program may be a great opportunity for our community,” Burdess said. “In addition, the need for emergency

mental health care facilities is dire, and our local resources do not have the capacity to properly handle these subjects beyond a few hours.

Longer-term care is needed.”

Burdess said while he’s excited about programs like the one at Optimae, he knows there is a need for many more programs that offer direct care.

“Training is critical, but it does not tackle the big issue of emergency treatment and long term care,” he said.

Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said his agency would benefit greatly from more availability of beds and psychiatrists. In addition to having a deputy stay by the side of court-committed patient who is being assessed in an emergency room, if an initial court-ordered hold expires, the sheriff must consult with the county attorney’s office, and a judge’s order is needed to extend a court-ordered commitment to keep the patient and/or the public safe.

The sheriff ’s office has averaged 42.5 mental health transports per month since the beginning of 2014, with this year’s spike being 58 during the month of January.

A Newton man was arrested after threatening to kill two people and firing a weapon outside of their rural Newton home.

Alex M. Spangenburg, 22, was arrested after officers were called at 3:46 a.m. Saturday to the victims’ home. Spangenburg arrived at the man’s residence and from his vehicle, began to threaten to kill the victim and his 17-year-old son. The victims said Spangenburg fired a rifle out of the window of the truck he was driving and fired a few rounds into the air before driving away from the residence.

Spangenburg Officers pulled Spangenburg over and found him to be intoxicated and in the possession of a 30-30 caliber rifle he claimed to own.

He had bloodshot, watery eyes and smelled of alcohol, but refused to submit to chemical testing.

The rifle was found with one spent casing in the chamber and two live rounds in the six round capacity magazine. Additional ammunition, matching the

Candidate Q&A: Trotter for 3rd Ward council seat Newton Daily News This week, the Newton Daily News will feature candidate Q&As for the upcoming Nov. 3 city election in Newton.

suggestions do you have to deal with that issue?

I believe the most important issue will be growth in the housing market. The Trotter council took a bold step and supported the Newton Housing Development Corporation with the Fairmeadows North project. Although this is still in the early stages, it appears to be a success and possibly the jump start we needed. As a council

we need to continue supporting the housing initiative and be open to new ways to enhance or refine the program as the housing market changes. Once Newton starts seeing growth in new housing, the retail market should follow.

What do you think has been the biggest achievement of the city council in the last four years and what do you think has been the greatest struggle?

I can think of a lot of big achievements, implementing the Comprehensive Plan, the D&D program along with the

Clash of narratives drives events in Holy Land CAIRO (AP) — The clashes between Israelis and Palestinians in the Holy Land are not just physical; the two sides cannot agree on what they see, how they got here, who is to blame or where they should go.

To many Israelis, the wave of knifings betrays a hatred of Jews by a Palestinian populace that is easily incited to violence by fanatics dreaming up conspiracy theories about Zionist plots to take over their sacred Jerusalem mosque.

To Palestinians, the violent rage of lone-wolf attackers is an inevitable consequence, a last resort, and just deserts

given almost a half-century of Israeli occupation in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, after peace talks collapsed last year and Israelis then re-elected a prime minister who seems wedded to the status quo.

Where Israelis see attackers killed in self-defense against what headlines call the “wave of terrorism,� Palestinians tend to see martyrs sacrificing themselves to fight the unacceptable predicament of their oppressed and humiliated people.

The clashing narratives share a deep-rooted sense of vulnerability.

Israelis are deeply affected by the

memory of the Nazi slaughter of 6 million Jews during World War II. The country that emerged from that disaster is surrounded by potential enemies. They look at the map, feel small, and grow peeved at the fuss made about their relatively modest conquest of a few thousand square kilometers, one of many in history.

The Palestinians call Israel’s 1948 “War of Independence� the “naqba,� meaning catastrophe. Some 600,000 of their number left what became the Jewish state, with some expelled and others fleeing. The refugees’ descendants now number in the millions. They are a peo-

bring their appliances, scrap metal or electronics to a central location, and they would collect those items. It is something that many cities do, there are different agencies that do this.

H&W is one of them here in Jasper County,” Director of Public Works Keith Laube said.

H&W Recycling, located in Baxter, will bring their own personnel, equipment and trucks and run the event.

Citizens are responsible for getting their items to the lot during the fourhour time frame that morning.

“They take most items for free. There are a few items they charge for including large television and computer monitors have a fee of $15 and larger televisions are $30. Everything else, as far as appliances, any kind of metal, small electronic devices they would take for free,” Laube said. “Even if you have a large appliance or television that you don’t have a vehicle or know somebody that can get it to this location, you can always call one of the local garbage haulers and they can come pick it up.

the Comprehensive Plan.

Continued from Page 1A

Poor street conditions are often mentioned by Newton residents. How do you think the city should address the problem and is there any public input that could be useful?

I believe the city is addressing this problem within the scope and availability of funds within our budget. There is simply not enough money in the budget to meet the expectations of the citizens. The reality is we need additional funding and we as a community will have to decide how we pay for these additional funds. As a council we looked into a franchise tax and the community responded with a resounding “No.” We will continue to ex-

plore options for funding and any or all ideas from the community are welcomed.

A city-wide recycling day is scheduled for Oct. 31 at the city-owned parking lot on West Fourth Street North, east of the Newton DMACC campus.

H&W Recycling will be on hand from 8 a.m. to noon to collect appliances, scrap metal or electronics for free, or with a small fee for larger items, in an effort to help citizens keep such items out of the landfill.

Why do you want to be on the council? Why do you think voters should choose you as a city council member?

We have made great progress over the last four years. We are starting to see recognition from our vision and plans. I want to keep this moving forward with our comprehensive plan. I am grateful that the citizens of the 3rd Ward gave me the opportunity to be their council representative these past four years.

is probably $5 roughly.

There is always an option for everybody so you don’t need to just store it your garage until another one collects and your garage is full of things you don’t use.”

Laube said if this event goes well, he can see the city continuing the recycling day once or twice a year.

Additional recyclers throughout the county could also have the chance to take part in future events, rotating each time to give everybody an opportunity.

“A lot of this is trying to get some of these items out of our landfill, especially the electronics and part and the metals can be extracted from these appliances so they are not in our landfill,” Laube said.

Council Member Steve Mullan added the bigger issue is do the citizens want the landfill filled with toxic waste, which many of the electronic pieces contain.

“Are we really concerned about if our future generations will have to put up with this or not?” Mullan said. “If we have to pay for a small fee to take care of these things, that is our responsibility as consumers.”

Candy corn: The annual vice

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Oct. 21, 2015

It’s that time of year again.

The time when a chill is in the air, football is played in town and on TV and pumpkins are being sold — and I’m starting to get the sweats, salivating, obsessing, reeling and trying to stay focused.

That’s because candy corn is the most addictive part of October. While baseball playoffs, carving pumpkins, jackets and warm clothing are on the radar during the month, candy corn plays a lead role in my life.

In fact, it’s sort of a one-man show, and I’m not even in it. I’m just as spectator as the evil orange and white compound permeates not only my dental enamel, but also my gums, making me feel as if I’m wearing some type of adhesive that glues my brain to my lower jaw.

Comedian Lewis Black tells us all we need to know about candy corn.

“The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, candy corn,”

Black said in one of his more tame stand-up routines. “Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America that’s never been advertised. And there’s a reason; all of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.”

Indeed, one might have difficulty telling if a package of candy corn was made last Thursday or around the time of the Chicago Cubs’ last world championship.

Aside from becoming slightly tougher to chew, the composition seems to be the same — leading me to believe there are chemical combinations used in its manufacture that are meant to survive a world nuclear war and outlive all the cockroaches on earth.

There is no one else to blame for my repeated forays toward the sworn enemy of my teeth and the Judas of the candy world. Knowing intellectually nothing has improved since the previous October, I charge headlong toward the local grocery or drugstore yet again, un-

able to recall, with sufficient force, the bender of the year prior and the damage it had wrought.

No one sympathizes with the candy corn addict. He walks the streets a lone wolf, as his vice is not nearly as dangerous or damaging as methamphetamine or heroin and yet far more mysterious and cunning, baffling and powerful than caffeine or skydiving. He is misunderstood by all.

It might seem candy corn would be relatively harmless over the long term, since it is, like pumpkins and scary costumes, only relevant one month out of the year. However, that is the beauty of the deception: It’s a problem because it isn’t really a problem.

It’s a substance that serves no real purpose. While even the most unhealthy of pop or Baconator has at least some sort of redeeming value in being a kind of pick-me-up, candy corn is completely useless, aside from its taste. At least nutritionists ad-

vise against swallowing chewing gum, while rarely, if ever, do we hear any sort of warnings or cautions regarding the orange and white devil.

Attempts to change flavors and/or colors are examples of “putting lipstick on a pig,” as we all can still see it’s still the same creature. It swings the same hammer that comes down on the same teeth, pounding an illusion into my brain that a splash of red, black or green is going to mitigate the sugar hangovers of the past.

Maybe someday, I’ll either reach a point where I no longer crave or am smitten by the ways of the product that sure isn’t candy — and is, most definitely, not corn. Until then, I can only attempt to contain the small pointy cones made of whatever, and attempt to consume in moderation.

The anti-Jew anti-gun crusade

Another View

Medicaid privatization undermines Iowa innovation and access Like a ship speeding toward a rocky shore, the future of Iowa’s Medicaid program will be disastrous if the state continues on its present course toward privatized care.

The Iowa Hospital Association opposes the state’s plan because it seeks to reduce Medicaid costs by restricting access to health care ser- By Kirk Norris vices and reducing Guest Columnist reimbursement to providers through claims denials and requirements for prior authorization. Merely copying what 40 other states have pursued unsuccessfully is not new or innovative. It simply hands the reins of Iowa’s second largest insurance program to four out-of-state companies, along with a half a billion dollars of Iowa taxpayer funding.

Research of publicly funded managed care in both Medicaid and Medicare clearly demonstrates that minimal to no savings occur through the private management of these programs. In fact, spending for private management actually increases the cost of these programs in markets that are efficient utilizers of public resources. Iowa is such a market, as shown by the state’s low average cost per Medicaid enrollee and its low Medicaid administrative costs (among the lowest in the nation, in fact).

The current administration and Iowa hospitals agree that Iowa has

been an innovator in its management of Medicaid. Just this year, the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved a $40 million implementation grant for Iowa to continue work on the State Innovation Model (SIM) initiative, a multi-payer Accountable Care Organization (ACO) model that resulted from an 18-month collaborative plan design phase. The plan was approved by CMS and envisioned a long-term goal of advancing the significant progress made after the state expanded Medicaid to create the Iowa Health and Wellness Plan, which provided health insurance to more than 150,000 newly eligible Iowans.

The first five years of ACOs have yielded cost savings in both the private insurance market and the public sector (with Medicare) that have already eclipsed decades of experience with privatized Medicaid managed care. Moving to privatized Medicaid is a divergence that will inhibit, not improve, further opportunities for innovation.

One way Medicaid innovation is at work today is through Integrated Health Homes (IHH), which coordinate care for Iowa adults and children with serious mental health issues. Along with mental illness, these patients typically have three or more chronic health conditions, often leading to trips to the emergency room (ER) and hospitalizations, making their health care very expensive.

Managing care for such complex patients, who interact with many parts of the health care system, is always difficult and often fragmented.

However, the health homes’ teambased approach addresses those issues by training providers, tracking patients and sharing information among providers, resulting in fewer ER visits and hospitalizations, reduced cost to Medicaid and a better quality of life for these Iowans.

So what is the future for these forward-looking programs under the state’s Medicaid managed care plan? The truth is, no one seems to know. The state is moving so fast and awarding contracts so quickly, those kinds of questions have been left unanswered. This is why there is grave concern among Iowa hospitals and other health care providers that these innovative and effective programs will simply be run over in the rush to implement privatized managed care.

The vast majority of Iowans are not on Medicaid, but the 560,000 who are in the program are among the state’s most vulnerable and least represented. We should all be concerned about their health care, not to mention what happens to the taxes that pay for it. There is no solid evidence from other states that privatized management will improve the health of Medicaid recipients, provide better access to care or save money.

Those in charge of the state’s fast-track plan for Medicaid privatization seem to rely on no one noticing the perils ahead. Iowans who care about their neighbors and holding our government accountable should prove them wrong.

Kirk Norris is president and CEO of the Iowa Hospital Association.

Last week, 2016 Republican presidential contender Dr. Ben Carson b o r e t h e brunt of the media’s ire for his politically incorr e c t By Ben Shapiro take on the evils of gun control.

“Through a combination of removing guns and disseminating propaganda, the Nazis were able to carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance,” Carson writes in his new book, “A Perfect Union.”

Leftists, including the activists of the Anti-Defamation League, promptly condemned Carson. National Director Jonathan Greenblatt explained, “the notion that Hitler’s gun-control policy contributed to the Holocaust is historically inaccurate.”

Nick Baumann of The Huffington Post wrote, “There was some armed Jewish resistance to the power of the Nazi war machine. But it often ended in death for the Jews involved.”

This is the height of idiocy. Pretty much everything ended in death for Jews during World War II in Europe. But what gave them a better shot of survival: having a gun or being completely disarmed?

Historically, enemies of the Jews — or any other subject population, for that matter — have sought to disarm the Jews in order to carry out their designs. This goes all the way back to the Bible, in which the Philistines banned all ironsmiths from the Jews, explicitly stating, “Lest the Jews make them swords or spears.” Hitler knew the efficacy of gun control, and effectuated it with regard to Jews throughout his regime: While guns were completely banned in Germany in 1920, the laws were lib-

eralized in 1928 before Hitler cracked down on Jews from 1933 to 1938, when full confiscation of all weapons, including knives, from Jews took place. The penalty for Jewish ownership of weapons: condemnation to a concentration camp for up to 20 years. Jews were warned that “they should interpret the new ordinance and the already existing Weapons Law strictly.”

Would Jewish weapons have helped prevent the Holocaust? They certainly would have saved more Jewish lives.

Jewish resistance in the death camps of Sobibor and Treblinka shut them down; Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto led to over a thousand German casualties.

Armed resistance is invariably a better method of self-defense against tyranny than nothing.

Meanwhile, in the Holy Land, the British sought to prevent Jewish weapons ownership as well, so as to prevent those uppity Jews from seizing control of pre-independence Israel. Jewish independence fighters, victimized by Arab gangs and British authorities who cast a warm eye on them, began manufacturing bullets underground and transporting them using milk trucks. After World War II, Jews were unlikely to surrender their weapons to supposedly friendly authorities.

They didn’t. The result: a Jewish State.

Guns matter. Self-defense matters.

The left wants Jews to surrender both.

Today, the world turns a blind eye as Palestinian Arabs stab children in the streets of Jerusalem — and they tell the Israelis not to worry so much about Iranian terror support or the Iranian nuclear program. Jews should simply stop being so militaristic, tell their armed citizens to stop fighting with terrorists armed with blades. Surely, that will end the cycle of violence.

Ex-wife of cheater seeks a way to cope with anger

DEAR ABBY: I work for a court, and while I was at work the bailiff informed me he had civil papers to serve on my husband.

When I called my husband to tell him, he sounded scared that I knew about it. When I dug a little deeper, I found out they were child support papers from a woman he’d had an affair with. He has been wiring her money behind my back for two years.

Abby, I have been with this man for 12 years. I had suspected affairs before, but he always came up with convincing answers and fooled me into thinking it was nothing. I guess I’m naive — or him being a cop has taught him how to lie and cleverly manipulate.

I have two children, and of course I left him. I haven’t told my son why I divorced his dad because I don’t want him to have a bad opinion of him.

I need advice. I’m now struggling and barely making ends meet. My son is mad at me because I can’t fix my relationship with his father. We are having a hard time, but my ex isn’t. He’s living it up while staying with relatives. He cancels visits with his son at the last minute to spend time with other women.

I try not to get angry, because no matter how I’m hurting I know I’m better off without him. How do I let the anger go? Romantically, I feel I have moved on, but another part of me feels he should suffer too. — ANGRY IN THE SOUTH DEAR ANGRY: Nobody likes to be played for a fool, and you wouldn’t be human if you didn’t have these feelings. However, resist the temptation to be vengeful.

Your ex may suffer when your son is old enough to realize that he

can’t count on his dad to keep his word or be there for him. Bide your time. While you shouldn’t poison the children against him, do let them draw their own conclusions.

DEAR ABBY: Ten years ago, while I was still in college, I dated and fell in love with a married man I’ll call “Jon.” The split was messy in the end, but since then we have had our closure and moved on with our lives — divorce for him, and marriage for me.

I recently learned that Jon may be taking a position in my small company (only nine people). I believe we can be cordial, but should I approach the subject with him, or pretend it never happened? Do I tell my husband (who knows about the affair) that Jon will be working with me, or keep quiet? — CONFLICTED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CONFLICTED: Of course you tell your husband. If you don’t and he finds out Jon will be working with you, he will assume that you had something to hide. As to bringing up the past with Jon once he shows up, if he doesn’t broach the subject, I don’t think you should. Keep the relationship strictly business, for both your sakes.

1 Police say officers killed man who shot at them

CEDAR RAPIDS — Authorities say a man has died after an exchange of gunshots with two Cedar Rapids police officers. The Cedar Rapids Police Department says in a news release that one of three drug deal suspects fled a vehicle after it was stopped a little after 10:30 p.m.

Tuesday on the northwest side of the city.

Two officers and a police dog chased down the man, who police say then opened fire on the officers. They fired back, fatally wounding the man.

DES MOINES — The head of a committee examining casino licensing in Iowa says he plans to reintroduce legislation next session that would create a smokefree casino in the state. Democratic Sen.

DNR purchases semiautomatic rifles for rangers DUBUQUE — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has purchased 37 rifles for Iowa park rangers. The AR-15 rifles were recently bought for the rangers’ main responsibility of law enforcement.

State park rangers are certified peace officers with statewide jurisdiction. They can be called upon to assist other law enforcement agencies when necessary. The semi-automatic rifles were purchased by the state for about $1,400 each and closely resemble the military version, M-16.

Audit shows $230K in financial irregularities in Neola NEOLA — The state auditor says improper management of city finances over a five-year period cost the city of Neola more than $230,000.

City officials requested a special audit after a new city clerk discovered financial irregularities following the firing of previous clerk Deb Schierbrock in August 2013.

State auditors say they found more than $41,000 of improper spending.

Hillary Clinton questions plan to privatize Medicaid in Iowa DES MOINES (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton is criticizing Gov. Terry Branstad’s effort to privatize Iowa’s Medicaid program.

In a post published Tuesday on Medium.com, the Democratic presidential candidate says Branstad’s plan to transfer management of the program to private companies puts care for more than 500,000 Iowans in “jeopardy.”

Clinton questions the projected cost savings associated with the shift and says advocates have raised “legitimate concerns” about the companies awarded contracts.

Clinton Branstad spokesman Ben Hammes says these are “tired, old and partisan attacks.” He noted that New York has many Medicaid patients on privately run plans.

Clinton has sought to weigh in on state issues throughout her presidential campaign. She has previously criticized Branstad for eliminating funding for mental health institutions.

Jeb finding place for brother’s tenure in campaign DES MOINES (AP) — After initially struggling with questions about the Iraq War and his brother’s tenure as the nation’s leader, Jeb Bush has tossed aside any hesitations about embracing former President George W. Bush’s legacy and is searching for new ways to incorporate him into his White House campaign.

It’s a shift due in no small part to the jabs of Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who isn’t backing down from his assertions that Bush’s brother bears some responsibility for 9/11.

“In the latest episode of the reality show that is Donald Trump’s campaign, he has blamed my brother for the 9/11 terrorist attacks on our nation,” Bush wrote in a column published Tuesday in National Review. “That Trump echoes the attacks of Michael Moore and the fringe left against my brother is yet another example of his dangerous views on na-

tional-security issues.”

Spurred on by Trump, Bush is showing none of the hesitation in embracing his brother’s presidency that tripped him up in the weeks leading to the formal launch of his 2016 campaign. Jeb Bush fumbled answers to questions about his brother’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003 for an entire week in May, struggling to explain whether he would have done the same.

Bush is on much more comfortable ground when it comes to his brother’s response to 9/11.

“The simple fact is that when we were attacked, my brother created an environment where, for 2,600 days, we were safe,” Bush said Monday night on Fox News.

“No one attacked us again. And he changed the laws, he did everything necessary, he united the country and he kept us safe.”

The back and forth between the two candidates began at

the second Republican debate, when Bush defended his brother as a president who kept the nation safe after the billionaire businessman claimed George W. Bush’s presidency “gave us Barack Obama, because it was such a disaster.”

While George W. Bush’s favorability among all Americans remains mixed, nearly three-quarters of Republicans have a favorable view of him, according to a Pew Research poll in May. Jeb Bush scored his biggest applause of the evening when he pivoted to his right to face Trump and said calmly, “As it relates to my brother, there’s one thing I know for sure. He kept us safe.”

The debate hall at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library erupted in applause, and the comment has since become a part of the former Florida governor’s campaign stump speech.

Hobson brings magic, mystery to Iowa with ‘The Illusionists’

By Jessica Lowe Special to Newton Daily News

D

ES MOINES — With Halloween around the corner, people are open to the mystical and magical. Those searching for a spellbinding evening of entertainment will be treated to one during five performances of “The Illusionists” at the Des Moines Civic Center.

When the curtains are drawn and the magic begins, one of the trickiest conjurers on stage will be Jeff Hobson, who has toured with the critically-acclaimed production since its debut four years ago.

“The show has dashes of edge, and more dangerous than a typical show,” he said. “I almost put my head down and not look myself.

Kids can still come but this is not rabbit from a hat kiddy birthday party type of magic show.”

Hobson or “The Trickster” — as he is known in “The Illusionists” — is no stranger to performing. As a professional magician he has completed more than 20,000 shows. His preoccupation with prestidigitation started during a program at his Michigan elementary school.

At 7 years old, Hobson was mesmerized by the school magician. From that moment on he said knew exactly what

Audiologist Since 1979

he wanted to be and he never looked back.

“At 11, I was performing my first show, by 12 I had my first paid show,” Hobson said. “By teenager, I was making more money than my dad as a tool and die maker in Detroit. I knew this is what I wanted to do.”

Since his first paid gig, it has been a magical career for Hobson. He has headlined shows in Las Vegas, traveled around the world and performed on dozens of TV shows. Thanks to the magician’s impressive resume, audiences at the Civic Center will be captivated by a unique blend of magic, mentalism, trickery and danger performed by Hobson and his fellow “Illusionists.”

“It has wonderful, dramatic music, great costumes and wonderful acts doing amazing illusions,” Hobson said of the show, which is heading back to Broadway and London when it wraps its North American tour.

With a cast of seven, every performance is unique, Hobson said. “The Illusionists” include Hobson, Dan Sperry (“The Anti-Conjuror”), Yu Ho-Jin (“The Manipulator”), Kevin James (“The Inventor”), Andrew Basso (“The Escapologist”), Ben Blaque (“The Weapon Master” ) and Jonathan Goodwin (“The Daredevil”).

“Each performance is different because we will be adding and switching in and out tricks as we get things set for Broadway and London,” Hobson said of the five Iowa shows. “Also dozens of people will participate in each show, and by the nature of how different people are it changes the show a lot. Those wanting to come to multiple shows (in Des Moines) will see something different.”

Tickets start at $35 and are available at DesMoinesPerformingArts.org, the Civic Center Ticket Office, all Ticketmaster locations and charge-by-phone at 800-745-3000. Groups of 12 or more should call 515246-2340.

“You are a loser if you don’t go,” Hobson joked.

“But seriously this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have all these entertainers in the city at one time. If I was not in this show I’d be in the front row every night.”

Submitted Photo Magician Jeff Hobson is one of seven performers in the critically acclaimed live show “The Illusionists.” Hobson, who is dubbed “The Trickster,” and his fellow castmembers will be performing five shows at the Des Moines Civic Center beginning Oct. 23.

Local & State News Mental Health Continued from Page 1A If none of the sheriff ’s three on-call drivers are available, Halferty must send one of his regular deputies out of the county for transporting the patient.

The three drivers also handle juvenile transports and correctional facility placement orders, but Halferty said the mental health transports eat up a great deal of time and expense.

Eight of the 32 people transported by the department in Septem-

ber were taken to Skiff Medical Center for mental health evaluations.

Halferty said suspects who have substance-abuse issues frequently have mental illness issues that are the both part of what drives the person further into alcohol or street drugs, and those substances, in turn, reduce or eliminate the helpful effects of medicine, and make illness symptoms worse.

The comorbidity, or

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Oct. 21, 2015 | 9A accompanying illness, that seems to often affect the mentally ill is chemical dependency. Whether the prevailing theory is that one causes the other, or simply that addiction and mental illness seem to exist together, it certainly creates legal, moral and medical dilemmas for many first responders.

Halferty said it’s common for a person to be struggling with both mental health and substance abuse issues — and not simply because of the prevalence of methamphetamine in Iowa.

“I’ve read about studies that show one-fourth of those who use street drugs regularly have serious mental illness, but I wonder if that could be as high as one-third,�

Halferty said.

Jody Eaton is not only the Community Services Director/Central Point Coordinator for Jasper County for CICS; she’s also the CEO of Central Iowa Crisis Services.

CICS is a 10-county region created by state code, officially renamed in July 2014, responsible for the implementation and funding of mental health services. She

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A new program will allow patients at the Jasper County Jail to be assessed using videoconferencing when necessary.

However, technology will not affect the vast shortage of psychiatrists and available mental-health hospital beds in Iowa and nationwide.

said not only is there a shortage of psychiatrists, but also a shortage of “mid-range� specialists — case managers, social workers and others who don’t require malpractice insurance, but who are still specially trained and needed for a variety of services.

CICS helps fund law enforcement, medical and therapy programs in each region, such as Optimae and Capstone. “This is the second budget year since we had a major reorganization of state services,�

Eaton said. “Legislation repealed the previous county system and required counties to form regions through a 28E agreement by June 30, 2014. Funding previously came from county property taxes, state and federal funds provided to each county.�

Eaton said one of her aims is to help other agencies get proper funding support to take some of the pressure off of emergency services. “If we can help reduce, even slightly, the number of mental-health cases in an ER, then we are making progress,� Eaton said.

There are not enough psychiatrists nationwide, according to many in the mental health community. Local NAMI chapters also help pay for staff who provide services.

NAMI Jasper County President Bill Ehler said

that’s a role that needs more professionals in place before much real progress can be made on certain fronts. “Not only are the challenges not the same in mental health as they were in the past, the resources are not the same, either,� Ehler said. “Take all these mass shootings, for example. Let’s see major changes happen and psychiatrists end up assessing people in some kind of new format.

Well, where are those psychiatrists going to come from?�

Even Vice President Joe Biden, in a 2014 address to an American Psychiatric Association meeting, acknowledged the U.S. needs to recruit and train more psychiatrists.

Dr. Dan Wright, an emergency room doctor at Skiff, said psychiatrists tend to be on the low end of salary ranges for doctors, so there is a diminished number graduating and entering the medical field. “If a medical student wanted to become a psychiatrist right now, it would probably be pretty easy to get funding for school,� Wright said. “There are simply not enough psychiatrists in the U.S. — especially in places that are away from major cities.�

Hunter interest growing ahead of Iowa’s pheasant season Newton Daily News Iowa’s eight year high in pheasant population is likely the reason that Todd Bogenschutz’s phone mail is filled with messages from hunters looking for more information ahead of the opening of pheasant season on Oct. 31.

Bogenschutz is Iowa’s upland game biologist in charge of monitoring pheasants including coordinating the August roadside survey that gave hunters across Iowa a jolt with the 37 percent increase in number of birds counted.

Adding to the excitement is that the corn harvest is running ahead of last year and will likely be 80 percent finished by the time the season begins. “With the crops mostly out, birds will be concentrated in areas with good cover and as long as we have good weather we’re going to have a pretty good opener,� Bogenschutz said.

Areas with higher pheasant counts can be found in a band of counties stretching from northwest to southeast, but good numbers can be found

in other parts of the state with better habitat.

The highest pheasant counts were 44 birds per route in the northwest region followed by 38 birds per route in central and 27 birds per route in southeast Iowa and should offer good hunting this fall.

Lower counts came in southwest, south central and northeast regions. “If you hunted an area that had birds last year, it should have more birds this year. If it had decent birds last year, should be better this year,�

Bogenschutz said. “The mar-

ginal areas will be better too.

We are trending in the right direction.�

That positive trend is fueling the speculation that more hunters will be in the fields this fall. “If hunter excitement leads to more hunters in the field, our pheasant harvest could reach 500,000 birds, and who would have thought that a few years ago,� Bogenschutz said.

Hunters are allowed three roosters per day with a possession limit of 12. Shooting hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Hunters must wear a

Cardinals fall in LHC, regular-season finale

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORWALK — On the road against the No. 11 team in Class 4A to wind up the regular season, Newton High’s Cardinals battled on the volleyball court. Norwalk’s Warriors posted a 25-21, 25-16, 25-14 win over the visiting Cardinals in Little Hawkeye Conference action.

“The girls worked hard tonight and finished out the regular season,” Newton head coach Laura Sherratt said.

“We will be taking the positives from tonight and building on those to take into the postseason. Monday brings on tournament time and anything can happen.”

Newton doubled its match wins from a year ago. The Cardinals finish the regular season 16-19 overall after going 7-29 with only one senior on the team in 2014. Newton was 0-6 in LHC play a year ago and the Cardinals were 1-5 this season.

The Cardinals’ conference win came in a five-set match at home against Grinnell on Sept. 29. Those two teams play Monday at Newton in the first round of Class 4A Region 4 play. The match begins at 7 p.m.

Against Norwalk, juniors Taylor Shipley, Megan Pressgrove and Kaytlin Ahn delivered six kills apiece at the net for the Cardinals.

Senior Emily Fitzgerald downed two kills while seniors Stephanie Hoebelheinrich and Allison Ergenbright each had one kill.

Pressgrove was credited with 15 set assists, and Shipley had eight set assists. Pressgrove recorded a solo block while Ahn and junior Morgan Allen each had an assisted block.

Newton went 43-of-46 from the service line in the match. Senior Fran Lucas

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High junior Megan Pressgrove (11) sets the ball as teammates get into postion to attack the net during a recent home match. The Cardinals were on the road Tuesday, dropping a Little Hawkeye Conference decision to host Norwalk, which is ranked No. 11 in Class 4A.

served two aces, and Hoebelheinrich had one ace serve.

Shipley and Fran Lucas each had 10 digs. Ahn made eight digs and Pressgrove had four digs.

Sophomore Audrey Lucas had two digs. Credited with one dig each were Fitzgerald, Hoebelheinrich and junior Savannah Reicks.

In junior varsity play, Norwalk defeated Newton, 25-13, 25-7.

The Cardinal freshmen lost 25-10, 25-15 to Norwalk.

Tegan Simmons served two aces, had one kill and two digs. Brittney McConnell had two kills and an assisted block. Arieal Lum had an assisted block and a one kill.

“The girls played well and went out with a fight in their final game of the year. There were so many improvements by every single person on this team,” NHS freshman head coach Michaela Wood said.

In a B-team freshman match, Newton split with Norwalk, losing the first set 25-9 and winning the second

set 25-16. Mariah Wicklife had one ace serve, one kill and one dig. Serving two aces each were Skye Gregory, Anna VanDam and Hannah Edwards. Desirae Shelton served one ace.

Royals rout Blue Jays, take 3-1 lead in ALCS

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Making a save in a home match earlier in the season is Lynnville-Sully senior Brenna Lanser (21).

Lanser led the Hawks in digs, kills and ace serves this season. The Hawks’ season ended Monday in a first-round Class 1A regional loss at ninth-ranked Iowa Valley in Marengo.

Tigers oust Hawks from 1A regional

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

MARENGO — A week ago Lynnville-Sully faced Iowa Valley in South Iowa Cedar League action. It lost in three sets.

The two SICL teams were in the same place Tuesday with No. 9 Iowa Valley hosting Lynnville-Sully in Class1A Region 5 volleyball play. It was the same result as the Tigers halted the Hawks’ season with a 25-7, 25-12, 25-10 win in the postseason first round.

Brenna Lanser put down eight kills and had eight digs in the match. Carson Fish was credited with six set assists while Skyler Young had

four set assists and five digs.

Kristen Van Der Wilt went 6-for-6 at the service line for the Hawks. She had nine digs.

Shelby Foster was 4-for-4 at the service line and had three digs and one kill.

“I was very happy how we placed in the conference,” Hawk head coach Heather James said. “We went severa matches to five sets and came out with a win. These players are very tough and can finish what they set out to accomplish.”

Lynnville-Sully finished 10-9 overall. The Hawks went 7-4 in SICL play, finishing behind conference champion Iowa Valley (110) and Montezuma and North Mahaska, both at 9-2.

In other Region 5 matches Monday, Montezuma beat Belle Plaine, 25-10, 25-12, 22-25, 24-26, 15-12; HLV defeated Ankeny Christian 20-25, 25-22, 25-17, 25-19; Colo-NESCO beat Meskwaki Settlement 8-25, 25-20, 21-25, 25-16, 15-11; North Tama beat GMB 2516, 25-12, 21-25, 25-23; and Gladbrook-Reinbeck over AGWSR 23-25, 25-23, 2514, 25-19.

Colfax-Mingo, which earned a first-round bye, travels to Victor to play HLV in the second round. That match is Tuesday at 7 p.m.

TORONTO (AP) — Ben Zobrist and the relentless Kansas City Royals showed they can play home run derby, too. And with one more win, they’ll have a chance to show off their power in a return trip to the World Series.

Zobrist hit a two-run homer on knuckleballer R.A. Dickey’s fourth pitch of the game, Alex Rios connected an inning later and the Royals romped past the Toronto Blue Jays 14-2 Tuesday for a 3-1 lead in the American League Championship Series.

Lorenzo Cain scored on a passed ball and Mike Moustakas had a sacrifice fly in an LCS-record four-run top of the first.

Alcides Escobar had four

RBIs and Cain drove in three runs as the Royals bounced back from an 11-8 loss Monday. Kansas City led 5-2 in the seventh before breaking away.

TCU’s Boykin takes a touching timeout with ISU fan FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin gets plenty of praise for his standout play. He is winning new fans with something he did before kickoff.

Moments before No. 3 TCU played at Iowa State on Saturday, Boykin greeted a disabled 7-year-old Cyclones fan watching from a wheelchair.

Abby Faber was chosen to be a “Kid Captain” for the game from Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines, where she has physical therapy.

“She usually uses a walker,” her mother, Jenny Faber said.

However, Jenny and Steve Faber thought it would be easier for Abby, who has a form of cerebral palsy, to use a wheelchair for the pregame ceremony and coin toss at the game in Ames.

As the Horned Frogs ran onto the field for the coin Troy Hyde/Daily News Texas Christian’s Trevone Boykin threw for 426 yards and four touch- toss, Boykin stopped at Abdowns in his team’s 45-21 win over Iowa State on Saturday, but it was by’s wheelchair, where she sat wearing an Iowa State jersey. what Boykin did before the game that has everyone talking.

Boykin leaned down and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Abby,” the girl replied as Star-Telegram photographer Paul Moseley took their picture. TCU beat Iowa State 4521.

Jenny Faber said she was unfamiliar with Boykin but now her family will be following him “the rest of the season.”

Faber says her daughter was so excited to get to shake a player’s hand.

When she woke up Sunday morning, Abby was still excited by her encounter with Boykin, her mother said. Even Monday, at school, teachers and others said Abby was wearing “a big smile” because of her brush with a sports celebrity who is considered among the contenders for the Heisman Trophy.

“She’s heard us talking about it and says, ‘I’m famous,’” Jenny Faber said.

Iowa looking for Uthoff to become a star in ‘15-16 IOWA CITY (AP) — From Matt Gatens to Devyn Marble to Aaron White, Iowa’s best teams under Fran McCaffery have been led by a senior standout.

Is Jarrod Uthoff next in line?

The answer to that question could determine whether the Hawkeyes make it back to the NCAA Tournament.

Uthoff certainly seems like he’s ready to step up after ranking second on the team with 12.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and just more than one steal per game as a junior last year. Iowa, which went 22-12 in 2014-15, opens its sixth season under McCaffery on Nov. 13 against Gardner-Webb.

“He definitely has the potential to be the Big Ten Player of the Year,” Iowa point guard Mike Gesell said. “He’s that type caliber of player...he’s ready to make his mark.”

Iowa’s methodical rise to national relevance has been mirrored by the steady progression of McCaffery’s best players.

Recent history suggests that Uthoff could be in for by far the biggest season of his career.

By the end of 2011-12, Gatens was one of the best players in the Big Ten. He became the first Iowa player in 15 years to lead the team in scoring in seven straight games, and his heroics might have been enough to drag the Hawkeyes into the N C A A Tournament had they not been done in by a weak non-conference schedule.

Marble actually made his leap during the NIT as a junior, averaging 20.6 points a game while leading Iowa to the title game. He then averaged 17 points a game in 2013-14, helping Iowa return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in eight years.

White more than made up for Marble’s departure for the NBA last season. He, like Marble, was a first-team All-

PCM netters lose three at Fairfield tournament

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News FAIRFIELD — The Mustangs concluded the regular season with a trip to Fairfield on Saturday and returned h o m e w i t h losses to Davis C o u n t y, 4A No. Broderson 15 Fairfield and Centerville.

Fairfield went 3-0 in its home tourney and improved to 30-3 on the year. Centerville finished 2-1 in Fairfield, while Davis County’s lone win came against PCM. Davis County (2120) defeated PCM in two sets, winning 25-13, 25-16.

Senior Ashley Van Gorp had six of the Mustangs’ 11 kills in the contest and also had four digs. Junior Bailey Broderson finished with three kills and three aces, while junior Kayla Jennings had 10 assists and freshman Avery Stock added four digs.

Junior Kaylee Townsend had five blocks.

Fairfield, who leads the Southeast Conference with an undefeated record, downed PCM

25-16, 25-21.

In that loss, Van Gorp had four kills and Broderson chipped in two. Jennings dished out eight assists and had five digs, while Van Gorp and Lippman each collected three digs. PCM was 32-of-35 in serves, and Broderson was 6-of-7 with three aces.

Centerville (26-6) was the runner-up in the South Central Conference. The Redettes rallied passed the Mustangs for a three-set victory, winning 19-25, 2520, 15-7.

Broderson had a team-high four kills, while Van Gorp finished with three kills, 10 digs and two aces. Jennings had 12 assists and was 15-of-15 in serves.

Stock and senior Kendal Earley collected eight digs while junior Tatum Nearmyer chipped in seven digs.

Sophomore Regan Olson finished with three blocks and freshman Maddie Samson served up three aces.

PCM (8-26) begins postseason play with a road trip to Saydel at 7 p.m. on Oct. 26.

The winner faces either Clarke (1-19) or Chariton (9-17) at 7 p.m. on Oct. 29 in Chariton.

Big Ten pick as a senior — and he became the first Hawkeye in 30 years to lead the team in points (16.4), rebounds (7.3) and steals (1.3) per game.

Iowa could use a star turn from Uhtoff, who has been told repeatedly by McCaffery to be more aggressive.

“It gives you more confidence in yourself. For me, my teammates back me up and say ‘Yo, you should’ve taken that shot.

You got that’... I think that helps me the most.

When you’ve got coach (McCaffery) telling me to be more aggressive, it helps my confidence,” Uthoff said.

The difference between Uthoff and Iowa’s previous top options is that he’s much more laid back than those three players.

But he might have more raw ability that anyone McCaffery has ever had at Iowa.

There’s little Uthoff can’t do on the floor. He was Iowa’s

ALCS Continued from Page 1B to pitch in the postseason, STATS said. Greeted by cheers, he allowed two hits and got one out.

Kansas City can win the pennant Wednesday, when Edinson Volquez starts against Toronto’s Marco Estrada in a Game 1 rematch.

After flashing power to build a 5-0 lead on the long ball, the Royals returned to their pesky ways late in the game against the Blue Jays’ struggling bullpen.

They scored nine runs with three more sacrifice flies, a barrage of slashing hits and heads-up baserunning.

Blue Jays fans had seen enough after Cain’s two-run single in the eighth, turning their ever-optimistic cheers to jeers when Mark Lowe replaced Ryan Madson.

NLCS Continued from Page 1B to their first World Series in 15 years.

Rookie Steven Matz gets the start for the Mets in Game 4 while Jason Hammel goes for the Cubs.

“Being up 3-0, we’re very, very fortunate, because the Cubs have played great,” manager Terry Collins said. “We’ve got to come out tomorrow and Steven Matz has got to give us a game.”

After going 0-7 against the Cubs during the regular season, New York is overpowering them with their arms and bats.

Yoenis Cespedes and David Wright each had three hits for the Mets. Cespedes scored the goahead run on a two-out wild pitch

by Trevor Cahill on a strikeout of Michael Conforto in the sixth inning.

top 3-point shooter last season, and he can beat guys off the dribble with ease. Uthoff excels in transition, but he also can guard bigger guys in the paint.

The fact that Uthoff was the only player in the country with at least 50 steals, 55 blocks and 35 steals a year ago is proof of just how versatile he is.

“I want him to put it on the floor, shoot 3s, drive the ball, shoot his pull-up, post up. He’s got a very unique game,” McCaffery said. “He’s got that big shot-making ability.”

The next step for Uthoff is to prove he can be the star the Hawkeyes need. After all, he’s the only returnee who averaged more than eight points a game last year.

“Jarrod Uthoff does not have the same personality as Aaron White,” McCaffery said.” That said, he’s one of the hardest-working people I’ve ever been around. That, in and of itself, is a great example to the young guys we brought in. He’s more likely to talk less and have a big impact.”

The 36-year-old Chris Young bested Dickey, 40, in a bookish matchup of veteran starters — only the pairing of the Yankees’ Randy Johnson and Detroit’s Kenny Rogers in the 2006 ALDS tops the duo for combined age.

But just like his counterpart’s effort in Game 4 of the Division Series against Texas, the 6-foot-10 Young was lifted one out shy of qualifying for a victory when Ned Yost went to his bullpen with a runner on first with two outs in the fifth.

Yost wasn’t willing to take any chances against Josh Donaldson, who already had a ground-rule double that cut Toronto’s deficit to 5-2.

Young used that steep arm angle to outwit the powerful Jays, who were 53-28 at home in the regular season but just 11-14 with the roof closed — which it was Tuesday.

He held them hitless until Ryan Goins’ one-out single in the third.

Murphy tied the mark set by Houston’s Carlos Beltran in 2004 with his drive off Kyle Hendricks in the third.

DeGrom followed up dominant starts by Matt Harvey and Noah Syndergaard in New York with one of his own. The NL Rookie of the Year held the Cubs’ big bats to just two runs and four hits. He struck out seven, walked one and retired his final 11 batters.

The righty with the flowing hair improved to 3-0 in his first postseason, with all of the wins coming on the road. Jeurys Familia closed for his fifth save of the postseason.

Kyle Schwarber had the towel-waving crowd shaking 101-year old Wrigley Field to its foundation in the first inning with his club-record fifth homer of the postseason.

Jorge Soler also had them roaring with his solo drive in the fourth.

But manager Joe Maddon’s Cubs have just five runs in this series.

Big Ten coaches upset at bashing of Michigan punter

By Luke Meredith The Associated Press DES MOINES — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz banned his players from Twitter once he realized the potential pitfalls of social media.

Some of his Big Ten colleagues might start thinking that Ferentz is on to something.

The downside to social media again became apparent last weekend.

Michigan athletic director Jim Hackett released an open letter on Sunday urging fans to avoid “thoughtless comments” following Michigan State’s last-play 27-23 win over the Wolverines.

Much of negative online chatter focused on Michigan punter Blake O’Neill, whose fumble led to the game-winning touchdown for the Spartans.

“It’s very disappointing. But it’s the world we’re living in right now, too. People tend to attack other people via social media,” Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said. “It’s just one play.

It should not define a person.”

Unlike Ferentz, most Big Ten coaches have accepted social media as a fact of life for themselves and their players.

Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald is one of the more active Big Ten coaches on Twitter.

But Fitzgerald had some strong words for what the “haters” who took to their computers to bash O’Neill.

Fitzgerald said he uses social media to “spread the good news” about the Wildcats and interact with fans. Fitzgerald said dealing with “trolls” is part of his job.

“I feel sorry for those people. I really do,” Fitzgerald said. “Every young man is trying to go out there and make a play and do what’s right. When that doesn’t go right, nobody feels worse than that young person. As a coach, that’s where you try and step in and give them everything you can and try to be supportive of them.”

remarkable difference in your own life and in the lives of others. Leo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 25, 48, 46 and 22.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re creative, and therefore many options seem feasible to you. Luxury of choice isn’t always the best thing for your art. Self-imposed limits might force you to excel even more than you thought you could!

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your own happiness isn’t even on the list today. What’s up with that? Maybe it was just an oversight on your part. You have had your hands full taking care of your people.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Today gives you the feeling that your destiny has already been determined. It has -mostly by you. You’ll get the early evidence that a wish you made long ago is coming true.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Reach out, and you’ll be immediately accepted. This kind of thing doesn’t happen every day, so take advantage of the special social stardust sprinkled over today’s efforts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The uncontrollable situation rears its head again. Dwelling on it has the potential to conjure the nervous and frustrated energy in your belly. Sometimes the best option is to ignore what

you can’t do anything about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your friends have their opinions, none of which apply to you in the straight-to-the-heart and logical ways that would cause you to act immediately.

You’ll ruminate and form your own opinions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Anxious energy looks for a focus. Don’t give it one. Dissipate uneasy feelings instead through activity. Going for a walk, knitting, reading, cleaning, a movie -- they’re all ways to change the mental channel.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

On the cusp of the old you and the new you, you are

as mysterious as a midnight moon. Those who are “awake” enough to admire you can’t help but wonder about the side you don’t show the world.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You could be the center of attention if you wanted to be -- tempting today, for sure. But the truest expression of your charisma will happen when you quietly tend to your agenda.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). So the new road opening up doesn’t look like it’s going to be a pleasant, paved walk in the park. No, this one is rocky with boulders, cliffs and the like. Still, you want to go. Your fortunes beckon you forward.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The ego is a gold fob watch, hypnotizing you into believing that other people are your problem. While other people may help you work on the problem, the root of all conflict is inside the self.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

No need to hurry. You will get where you need to be at the perfect time regardless of what the clock says. Stay cool, patient and relaxed. You’ll make a better impression in life and in traffic.
