A LABOR OF LOVE

QUICK NEWS

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

When Jack Sickels of Creston set out to build his wife a backyard retreat, it was a true labor of love.

After visiting a Renaissance festival in Minnesota, Sickels’ wife Reta told him, “Someday I’d like to have a fairy house for me and the grandkids to play in.”

Once he retired from UPS after 34 years, Jack began work on his wife’s dream project. He started October 2012 and added finishing touches this month.

It takes a village The 14 by 16 by 16 foot structure was framed by Creston residents Sterling and Lisa Jons, sided by son-in-law Jason, Jason’s brother Jared and Sickels’ granddaughter Chloe Hagle.

The interior, which features an office Sickels space, living room and loft-style bedroom, is completely lined with tongue and groove car siding, reminiscent of a tree house. However, each board is sanded with three coats of varnish for a more modern and finished look. Cabinetry and a countertop from American Home Design Center were added to complete the look.

A staircase, which leads from the entrance up to the sleep area, is made from raw logs Sickels sanded himself.

Each carpeted step is made from half of a log — flat side up.

Sickels and his wife worked together to come up with a design.

“Jack wanted to make it whimsical,” said Reta. “But, I see it and he does it.”

To add an element of colorful light and whimsy, Jack pur-

Burglars break-in to Afton Fitness Center early Sunday AFTON — Afton Fitness Center, 100 N. Douglas, reported a break-in occurring at their facility 3:15 a.m. Sunday in Afton. They are at least the fifth business in Union County to report a break-in over the past six weeks.

Owners Laura and Adam Tallmon said the burglars broke in through the east door and stole $200 cash from the facility. They also broke an interior door and damaged a desk.

However, the Tallmons have an ADT security system which captured a photo image of one of the burglars via video surveillance.

Starting today, they are holding screenings of the video for the public during business hours, and the first person to identify and/or give leads to the burglar’s arrest will receive a lifetime membership to the fitness center.

Business hours at the fitness center are 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday.

Reta Sickels flips through a scrapbook inside the studio of her fairy house built by her husband Jack Sickels.

chased a stained glass window from the Fontanelle Methodist Church, which he reframed, resoddered and hung infront of a window inside the fairy house. Furniture throughout the house is a mix of vintage and new. A rusted, full-size, antique brass frame the Sickels’ rescued was refinished and is now coupled with a white, vintage chenile bedspread. A crate was pulled apart, sanded, stained and converted into a side table. A doll house, chest full of dress-up clothes and armoir full of toys also welcomes young guests.

While touring a fairy village at a Renaissance festival, Reta fell in love with the playful structures made of wood, stone, straw and sod. The Sickels’ fairy house is designed to have a similar ambiance, complete with modern amenities such as a smoke detector, cooling and heating unit and alarm system.

With the help of Sterling and Lisa Jons and Jason, Jared and Chloe Hagle, Jack Sickels was able to bring his wife’s vision of a fairy house to life.

RAGBRAI map

RAGBRAI announces northern tour for 2014 Creston will not be an overnight stop for the 42nd annual RAGBRAI event — a weeklong tour across Iowa featuring more than 10,000 riders. And, neither will any other small town in southwest Iowa.

RAGBRAI will take place this year from July 20-26. It will start in Rock Valley — located in northwest Iowa — and end 418 miles later in Guttenberg. Riders will stop overnight in Okoboji, Emmetsburg, Forest City, Mason City, Waverly and Independence.

The Des Moines Registers reports the 2014 ride will be the third-shortest and second-flattest in history.

The last time Creston was selected as an overnight stop for RAGBRAI was in 1997.

Making memories Reta said her plan is to use the fairy house as a scrapbooking studio, playhouse for her 10 grandchildren and just a place to “close out the world.”

After 50 years of marriage, Reta said the fairy house is the most loving gift her husband has ever gifted her.

“Some men buy their wives jewelry or flowers — he built me a fairy house,” said Reta.

“It’s a magical place you can go to ...Everybody needs a magical place.”

Jack Sickels of Creston spends his retirement on projects for friend and family. To date, his wife’s fairy house is the largest project he has completed, with the help of family and friends. The view from a loft bedroom features a workspace below, where Sickels’ wife Reta spends time scrapbooking.

‘Rebuilding’ Panthers surpass 2013 Harris performance Four Creston/O-M champs at Corning

By LARRY PETERSON

Five-second fall sets Creston record

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

CORNING — Six of the last nine years, the Creston/O-M wrestling team has walked with the championship trophy from the John J. Harris Invitational, including the last three editions of southwest Iowa’s premier tournament.

But perhaps this was the most satisfying, considering the circumstances. From a team that graduated six seniors — five district qualifiers and two state champions — as well as one injury situation and an illness, the Panthers not only captured their third straight Harris tourney title, but surpassed its performance from 2013.

Creston/O-M won seven of 10 semifinal matches to discard the challenge of Hawkeye 10 rival Clarinda, and claimed four champions while scoring 243.5 points at the conclusion of the twoday event Saturday afternoon.

Clarinda had no champions and took second with 176.5 points. Atlantic-CAM crowned three champions in taking third with 135 points.

A year ago, Creston/O-M finished with a winning tally of 222.5 points with three individual champions.

One of the four Panther champions this year was senior 152-pounder Gavin Leith, who hadn’t competed since suffering a separated shoulder at Kansas City in December. Trevor Frain

Creston/O-M senior Kruz Adamson (right) works for takedown position against Bedford/ Lenox freshman Jared Hensley in their 113-pound championship match at the John J. Harris Invitational Saturday. Hensley won a 10-2 major decision to remain undefeated for the season.

claimed his second Harris title by topping Southwest Valley’s Zach Barton 4-2 at 182 pounds, after possibly tying a state record a day earlier with a five-second pin (see related story).

Freshman Chase Shiltz dominated the 145-pound division and junior Spencer Wray claimed t h e 132-pound title in a wild 12-7 decision over Red O a k ’ s Wray Tanner

Mertz, last year’s 106-pound champ.

Creston/O-M had 11 wrestlers place in the top six. Other finalists were Kruz Adamson (113), Adam Baker (170) and Seth Maitlen (195). Joey Huntington lost to 138-pound champ Erik Freed of Mount Ayr in the semifinals and came back to take third, as did freshman Kadon Hulett at 220 pounds.

Another freshman, Brody Frain, placed fourth at 106 pounds and Tayler Pettit, battling through illness, lost to repeat champion Kallan Schmelzer of Southwest

Valley in the 160-pound semifinals and defaulted in the consolations to place sixth.

Considering Pettit’s illness, the uncertainty of Leith’s physical well-being and youth in the Panther lineup, such a dominating performance even impressed coach Darrell Frain.

“We just keep plugging away and it’s worked out for us,” Frain said. “One thing about this team, they all just keep competing hard. We may not win every match, but they compete hard the whole time. We have 14 in the lineup who really get af-

CORNING — Three days after recording an eight-second fall against Red Oak, Creston/O-M senior wrestler Trevor Frain exceeded that feat at the John J. Harris Invitational.

Competing in the first round of the tournament Friday, the top-seeded Panther flipped Coon Rapids-Bayard junior Reno Doty in five seconds.

Earlier in the week, it was believed that Frain had come up short of the Creston record of six seconds in his Red Oak match.

“Right before the match, (assistant coach) Matt Long was like, ‘see if you can get this one in six seconds or less.’ Right ter it.”

Before Creston/O-M’s current three-year run, Atlantic won three straight titles under coach Tim Duff after another three-year run by the Panthers.

“The Hawkeye 10 has pretty much dominated this for quite a while now,” Frain said. “I thought maybe Nick Hemann bringing down

before I went on, I said I’ll see what I can do,” Frain said.

Doty moved into Frain on the whistle, a fateful move that may have made him part of Iowa wrestling history.

“We shook hands, and instantly I just went for the front headlock position, threaded my Frain h a n d through and had it really tight,” Frain related. “There was no getting out of it. It was like a chin whip.”

His father, Creston/OM coach Darrell Frain, said the fall might have been even quicker if the move had been thrown Please see RECORD, page 7A

New Hampton would mix it up a little bit. I know they’re not as strong as they’ve been at times, but I think we represented our area and they can tell eastern Iowa that it’s not so bad down here.”

Panther boys split Panthers cool off weekend games after hot start

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

The Creston boys basketball team had two vastly different results in its games this weekend.

After losing a hardfought, physical contest at Council Bluffs St. Albert on Friday night, 64-57, the Panthers looked inspired Saturday at home against a potential district foe in Winterset, topping the Huskies, 72-40.

The Panthers got out to a good start in their first trip to new Hawkeye 10 Conference opponent St. Albert.

Creston took an 8-2 lead

in the first quarter when Cole Thompson went behind his back to Cole Crawford for a layup, and held a 12-11 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The second quarter turned into the Christian Groumoutis show.

The Panther junior scored eight of his 10 first half points in the second quarter, including two 3-pointers, as the Panthers built a 26-17 lead with 2:19 left in the half.

“I was really excited for him,” Creston head coach Billy Hiatt said. “We saw some signs from him we’ve been waiting for. He looked comfortable, went out there

and got into a flow. Hopefully that will kind of get him going.”

Physical play After a pair of Thompson free throws early in the second half made the score 2823 in favor of the Panthers, the tide of the game seemed to change on one play.

In a scramble for a loose ball, Crawford came up with the ball while lying on his stomach near midcourt.

Creston senior Cole Thompson makes a behind-the-back pass around Council Bluffs St. Albert’s John McGinn, hitting teammate Cole Crawford for a layup in the first quarter of Creston’s 64-57 loss to the Falcons on Friday.

COUNCIL BLUFFS — The Creston girls basketball team couldn’t maintain a hot start in a 51-36 loss to St. Albert here on Friday.

The Panthers got baskets from four different players in building a 9-1 lead over the host Saintes in the first 3:50 of the game.

The lead remained 9-1 with 2:00 to go in the first quarter, but St. Albert closed the quarter on a 7-0 run to close the gap to 9-8 at the end of the quarter.

“We had a good game plan, try to guard (Kylie) Ferguson — one of the best players in the Hawkeye 10 probably — did a good job of that, and tried to make their other girls have to shoot,” Creston head coach Larry McNutt said. “We did that and we were rebounding.

“The only trouble is,

we’re up 9-1 with 2:00 to go in the quarter, and it’s 9-8.

We need to be able to hold that lead there, so then we’re up seven, eight at the end of the quarter instead of one.”

St. Albert quickly took a 15-11 lead in the second quarter as Alli Wettengel knocked down a 3-pointer for the Saintes.

But, the Panthers responded and eventually regained the lead at 16-15 when Olivia Nielsen scored a layup and hit the free throw after a foul.

Nielsen scored seven points for the Panthers, all in the first half. She knocked in another layup Nielsen to cut the lead to 19-18 with 2:00 to go in the half, but once again, St. Al-

bert went on a run.

Ferguson, a Lindenwood University recruit, scored the final four points of the half for the Saintes to give them a 25-19 lead going into the break.

“With 3:00 to go in the half, we’re down one,” McNutt said. “Then at half, we’re down six. We just have to do a better job.

We’ve got to make some shots. We didn’t do a real good job after the first quarter of helping Taylor (Briley) when she (Ferguson) would drive. We’ve got to slide over and stop her, and we weren’t doing that.”

Ferguson finished with a game-high 24 points. Natalie Mostek led Creston with 12 points.

The St. Albert lead ballooned to as much as 15 points in the third quarter, but the Panthers gave one Please see GIRLS, page 7A

Chloe Hagle scored four points for Creston (1-7). Taylor Fredrickson and Cayla Maitlen each grabbed four rebounds.

“Coach Weiler of Winterset complimented us afterward for our girls’ athleticism and how well Megan Haley front their

tall post girl and denied entry passes,” Creston coach Larry Peterson. “The girls dug down and made plays in the final minutes, hustling for rebounds and handling the ball.”

Creston also won the B game, 26-20. Jesse Vicker scored 10 points with four steals. Devon Bulls had seven rebounds while scoring four points.

Creston’s final home games are today against Atlantic and Thursday vs.

Evan Jacobson and Trevor Downing scored 15 and 13 points, respectively, for Creston (7-2).

“We jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first two minutes and scored only five the rest of the half,” coach Mike McCabe said. “Going against a 2-3 zone we missed some shots, a little impatient. It was 14-5 at the half. We were much better in the second half.

We pressed a little to get

the tempo of the game up.”

Creston won the B game 15-12.

Creston A (47) — Evan Jacobson 15, Trevor Downing 13, Tucker Flynn 6, Jaden Driskell 4, Cole Higgins 3, Gavin Sickels 2, Dalten Bierle 2, Nate Pudenz 2.

Up by one point, Creston was able to inbound the ball successfully four times in the final 20 seconds, while Clarinda tried for steals, but forced to foul each time.

Dale Boyer scored 10 points for Creston (8-1).

“This was an intense game right from the start,” Creston coach Kristopher “Kritter” Hayes said. “We knew we would have to really defend and rebound well against a much taller Clarinda team and we did just that. We defended their big post players by sagging in a 2-3 zone. The kids executed our defensive plan to perfection, which really made the difference.”

Hayes added that Creston guards handled Clarinda’s press and controlled the pace of the game in the halfcourt. Clarinda won the B game, 10-6.

Creston A (26) — Dale Boyer 10, Kylan Smallwood 8, Hunter Simpson 4, Jeffrey DIllenburg 2, Lee Normandeau 2.

Peyton Manning can’t dodge questions about cold-weather struggles

By JEFF MCLANE

The Philadelphia Inquirer

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Fact or fiction or a little of both, Peyton Manning can’t escape questions about his poor record in cold-weather games.

With this year’s Super Bowl being played outdoors at nearby MetLife Stadium, the Denver Broncos quarterback was sure to be asked about the wintry conditions — rain, sleet, snow and a below-freezing temperature at kickoff — in the forecast for this Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.

In fact, it took all of three questions before the topic was broached during the Broncos’ first news conference aboard the Cornucopia Majesty docked at the Hyatt Jersey City on Sunday. But the question focused more on Manning’s positive feelings after last year’s frigid, doubleovertime loss to Baltimore in the playoffs than on his 4-7 mark when the temperature at kickoff is below 32 degrees.

“I needed to face different circumstances with my new

surroundings, with my new physical state,” Manning said, referencing his recovery from neck surgery and his leaving the Indianapolis Colts. “In two years I feel like we’ve seen a lot as far as on-the-field situations, weather, crowd noise, you name it, with this team ... so I do feel comfortable.”

Manning was hardly the reason the Broncos were knocked out in the divisional round of the playoffs a year ago, but he wasn’t his typically accurate self either. He completed 28 of 43 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns with a Denver gametime temperature of 13 degrees. But he also tossed two interceptions, including one in overtime.

However, Manning considered the game a bit of breakthrough because he had only just started wearing a glove on his throwing hand. He even went so far a day later as to look ahead to this year’s Super Bowl and how the experience of that loss could buoy his confidence if the Broncos were to advance as far.

And they did, after Man-

ning’s record-setting run through the regular season and victories over the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots in the postseason. He did it wearing a glove the entire way. He did it winning his fourth game in subfreezing conditions when Denver spanked the Titans, 51-28, in December and Manning threw for 397 yards and four touchdowns.

“Whoever wrote that narrative,” Manning said on a Denver radio station after the game, “can shove that one where the sun don’t shine.”

Someone from Sunday’s media corps even asked Manning how he could use the winter weather to his advantage and he seemed dumbfounded.

“I’m not real sure,” he said.

“I don’t really know the answer to that one.”

The Broncos, who will practice at the New York Jets facility in Florham Park, N.J., already seemed tired of the Manning cold-weather narrative that should get plenty of attention this week.

dove onto Crawford’s upper back in an attempt to tie the ball up.

A jump ball was called, and St. Albert was given possession of the ball.

The Falcons went on a 12-6 run after the play, taking a 3534 lead on the Panthers midway through the quarter.

“He had about four 6-4 guys,” Hiatt said. “They weren’t necessarily tall, they just kept bringing them in.

His guards were tall for our guards, too. It was a pretty physical game all around.

That size starts to wear on you when it’s physical.”

Fourth The two teams continued trading shots, with the Panthers taking a 44-43 lead into the fourth quarter after a Brandon Phipps scoop layup and free throw.

But, the Falcons opened the fourth quarter with a 7-1 run, building a 50-45 lead on a Travis Miller floater. The lead stretched to as much as six at 55-49 and 62-56.

Creston managed just two field goals in the fourth quarter, both coming from Jay Wolfe, who finished with a game-high 18 points, working hard down the stretch.

“We stopped attacking the rim, settled for outside shots and missed them,” Hiatt said.

“We just came up short. It got pretty physical there and they’re a lot bigger than us.

We tried to settle for shooting finger roll type stuff instead of going off the glass.”

Creston dropped to 6-7 overall and 4-3 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference with the loss. The Falcons improved to 8-6 overall and 4-3 in the conference.

“We have to learn off of it,” Hiatt said. “We made some mistakes at the end, but I felt like we got better tonight. I saw some aggression and frus-

tration. I saw where it meant something to some guys, which we hadn’t seen this year. I feel like we got better tonight, even though we got the loss.”

••• Creston wasted little time in dispatching of Winterset at home on Saturday, knocking off the Huskies, 72-40.

The Panthers held a 21-9 lead at the end of the first quarter.

“We shot pretty well as a team,” Hiatt said. “Gave them some pressure early on to get us a lead. Got to play everybody and it was a good win for us.”

Wolfe had a Herculean effort in the game, scoring 25 firsthalf points on his way to 34 for the game.

T h e C r e s t o n Wolfe junior shot 7-of-9 from behind the 3-point arc and grabbed 11 rebounds to record a double-double.

Creston led the Huskies 3820 at halftime and continued to pull away in the third quarter, taking a 60-28 lead into the fourth quarter.

“We went into halftime, I told the guys each game we want to try to get better,”

Hiatt said. “Our goal was to have a positive third quarter.

We’ve had a few third quarters this year where we’ve been outscored. We held them to eight points in the third quarter. That’s the first time this season we’ve had a positive third quarter. Making strides to get better.”

Senior post player Trey Benson had one of his best games of the season for the Panthers, scoring nine points with five rebounds.

“He worked inside real well,” Hiatt said. “We did a good job of finding him. This is the first time this year I saw our team swing the ball and get it to him. We’ve been trying to get going on that, and we finally saw it Saturday night.”

Creston improved to 7-7 overall for the season with the win, while Winterset dropped to 0-12.

Hiatt said it was a good chance for the Panthers to see a potential district opponent.

“We kind of got to feel each other out a little bit,” he said.

“There’s a chance we could meet up again. They’ll try to make some adjustments and so will we. When teams play in a different conference, it’s kind of tough to see how you measure up.”

The Panthers return to action at home Tuesday against Class 2A ninth-ranked Kuemper Catholic (11-2 overall, 7-0 in Hawkeye 10).

Recaps of Saturday’s junior varsity and freshmen games against Atlantic will be published in Tuesday’s edition of the Creston News Advertiser.

last effort to try to climb back into the game, cutting it to 40-32 with 5:08 to go in the game on a Briley baseline jumper.

“We got it back to eight there, and got a timeout,” McNutt said. “We only needed a couple of stops there and a couple of baskets, and we’d have been right there. We just couldn’t get the ball to go in the basket.”

St. Albert finished the game on an 11-4 run to seal the 51-36 victory in Creston’s first trip to the new

Hawkeye 10 Conference school.

Creston falls to 5-10 for the season and 2-6 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference with the loss. St. Albert improved to 10-5 and 4-3.

“My dad said he might have been pinned in three seconds,” Frain said.

The match not only sets a Creston record for fastest fall, it ties the fastest fall on record by the Iowa High School Athletic Association. Only state tournament matches are recorded for

fastest fall times, and there is one match in state tournament history in five seconds.

“It’s kind of cool to get a record,” Frain said.

A video replay of the match is available on www. ksibradio.com, under the “Listen Now” tab and archived videos, “John Harris Round 1.”

in September when the Broncos handled his brother, Eli, and the New York Giants, 4123. But the weather wasn’t a factor that day. Manning said he has had conversations with Eli about playing at his home field in difficult conditions.

A win Sunday would give Manning as many titles as his brother (two), but for some, it would settle any debate that he was the greatest NFL quarterback of all time.

Some have even wondered if Manning would walk off into retirement with another ring. He mentioned two players — Broncos executive and former quarterback John Elway and former Ravens line-

backer Ray Lewis — as two all-timers who were able to walk away after a Super Bowl win.

“They couldn’t play anymore. That was all they had to give,” Manning said. “They truly left it all out there. I’ve certainly had a career change two years ago with my injury, with changing teams, so I truly have been kind of a one-yearat-a-time basis. So I really have no plans after this game.

“I certainly want to continue to keep playing.”

“I’ve seen him throw for a lot of yards in bad weather,” Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker said.

Coach John Fox said he hadn’t yet decided if he would have his team practice indoors or outdoors this week.

He mentioned the field conditions being the primary factor.

But Manning said the Broncos practiced outside in Denver all last week “and I would think that would be the plan this week.”

Frain at Creston/O-M, saw his young squad place sixth with 104 points, one spot behind a Mount Ayr team that had six placewinners for the first time in coach Eric Ehlen’s 19 years at the event with 109 points.

Successful return Leith’s performance, including a 10-5 decision over Tyler Hance of Chariton in the finals, was the highlight for Frain.

“He’s been out of the lineup since before Christmas with the shoulder injury,” Frain said. “We really didn’t know if he would come back at all. We’ve been trying to find different braces for him. He wrestled great and ended up with a championship. I’m excited for him.”

He’s the second Leith brother to win a John Harris title and the third to reach the finals. Quin, a state champion in 2008, won two titles and Zac placed second and third. Afterward, Gavin Leith was pleased the comeback was off to a strong start.

“It’s just nice to know that it’s not going to really affect me too much the rest of the wrestling season,” Leith said.

“It’s a separation of the AC joint. My collarbone is popped up about five centimeters.

Public notice REGULAR MEETING OF THE CRESTON CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 21, 2014 The Creston City Council met in regular session at 6:00 o clock p.m. on the above date in the Council Chambers of the City Hall Complex with Mayor Woods presiding.

Roll call being taken with the following Council members present: Loudon, Lybarger, Koets, Wilson, Levine, Winborn and White.

Motion was made and seconded to approve the agenda by changing Item 4 to read “Motion to refer request from the Creston Middle School Student Government to change a street name from Parkway Street to Patriotic Parkway” to the Planning & Zoning Committee. All voted aye. Motion carried.

Motion was made and seconded to approve the consent agenda, which included approval of minutes of January 7, 2014, regular meeting; claims of $161,108.79; and liquor license renewal for Hayes' Concession Service. All voted aye. Motion carried.

During Public Forum, Lesa Downing, 6 - 12 Instructional Coach, Teacher and sponsor of the Student Government, introduced herself as well as Student Government co-sponsors Mrs. Carol King and Mrs. Wendy Hartsock. Creston Middle School Student Government representatives Faith Wilson, Trevor Downing, Jaedon Driskell, Tucker Flynn and Hunter Fry gave a brief presentation of their project.

Initially, a Veteran approached Mrs. Downing with the idea of changing the name of Parkway Street - a short connector street that links New York Ave. (US Hwy 34) and Park Street. Parkway Street is located on the north-easterly side of the Visitor's Center and the Freedom Rock.

She then brought the idea up to her students. They discussed the idea and came up with the proposed name of Patriotic Parkway. They created a petition proposing the name change and collected approximately 160 signatures. They would like to have the name of Parkway Street changed to Patriotic Parkway to honor all Veterans and the class would donate the cost of the new street sign.

Mayor Woods announced that now is the time for a Public Hearing on the matter of the Airport Agricultural Land Lease.

No one spoke for or against the lease and there was no written correspondence for or against. He then called the Public Hearing to a close.

A resolution was offered and seconded to accept bids and award the Airport Agricultural Land Lease for 95 acres to Colton Dunphy for $310 per acre based on recommendation of the Airport Commission. All voted aye. Resolution passed.

A resolution was offered and seconded to Adopt the Proposed Budget for FY 2015 and set a Public Hearing on February 4, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. for the Adoption of the Final Budget for FY 2015. Loudon, Wilson, Levine, Winborn and White voted aye. Lybarger and Koets voted nay. Resolution passed.

Motion was made and seconded to refer a request from the Creston Middle School Student Government to change the street named Parkway Street to Patriotic Parkway to the Planning & Zoning Committee.

All voted aye. Motion carried.

Obamacare enrollment continues to rise in January WASHINGTON (MCT) — About 3 million people have now enrolled in health insurance plans sold through marketplaces created by President Barack Obama’s health law, the administration announced Friday.

The milestone indicates nearly a million additional people have signed up since the end of December. It also suggests that the marketplaces are continuing to recover from a disastrous launch on Oct. 1.

Administration officials expressed optimism Friday that enrollment would increase through the end of March, when the open enrollment period for 2014 coverage closes.

“As our outreach efforts kick into even higher gear, we anticipate these numbers will continue to grow, particularly as we reach even more uninsured young adults,” Medicare and Medicaid chief Marilyn Tavenner, whose agency is overseeing the rollout, said in a blog post.

The state-based marketplaces — a centerpiece of the Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare — were created so that Americans who do not get coverage at work could select among plans that offer at least a basic set of benefits and cannot turn away sick people.

Americans who make less than four times the federal poverty level — or about $94,000 for a family of four — qualify for government subsidies to offset the cost of their premiums.

Even with the rising enrollment, it is unclear if the administration will hit its target of 7 million enrollees this year. But most experts believe there will be another

surge in March, as people rush to get insurance so they will not be hit with a penalty for not having coverage.

It also remains unclear how many of the new enrollees were previously uninsured and how many are healthy, key metrics that will determine the effectiveness of the new marketplaces.

The Obama administration has not released this information.
