Iowa considers new groundwater restrictions Iowa hasn’t experienced major problems with the aquifer yet, and officials want to keep that from happening ■

DES MOINES (AP) — State officials may impose new limits on groundwater use to protect the underground aquifer that supplies drinking water to a half-million Iowans.

The Des Moines Register reports environmental leaders are concerned about the future of the Jordan aquifer that sits beneath most of Iowa because water use continues to grow.

The Iowa Environmental Protection Commission is scheduled to meet Wednesday to discuss requiring additional conservation measures and possibly force some water users to seek other sources of water.

Marion Water Department manager Todd Steigerwaldt said the lower the aquifer sinks, the worse the water quality will be.

“We know at some point we can’t keep pumping it down and pumping it down,” said Steigerwaldt, who is leading the task force looking at the issue.

Since the 1970s, use of water in the aquifer has increased 72 percent to nearly 26 billion gallons last year. The growing ethanol industry has contributed signifi-

Jordan aquifer Since the 1970s, use of water in the aquifer has increased 72 percent to nearly 26 billion gallons last year. In parts of southwest Iowa, the Jordan aquifer rests 2,500 feet underground while the water is near the surface in northeast Iowa. cantly to the increase.

In parts of southwest Iowa, the Jordan aquifer rests 2,500 feet underground while the water is near the surface in northeast Iowa. Besides Iowa, the aquifer also supplies water to parts of six other states.

Iowa hasn’t experienced major problems with the aquifer yet, and officials want to keep that from happening, said Micheal Anderson, an environmental en-

gineer with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

“Here it’s like we’ve gotten a note that we need to change our oil. In other states, the red check-engine light is flashing,” Anderson said. “We want to deal with this before it becomes a big problem.”

The state committee will consider adopting rules that will require additional conservation measures when the aquifer hits

certain limits.

At the first level, no action would be required. A second level would require taking steps to prevent the aquifer from getting too low. The third level would prevent users from drawing the water down any further.

At this point, experts don’t expect anywhere in Iowa to face the strongest restrictions, but several locations could be at the second tier, including the Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and Fort Dodge areas.

“There are urban areas where we’ve seen rapid declines in water elevation, and they’ve accelerated a little bit faster in the past 10 years,” said Mike Gannon, a hydrologist for the Iowa Geological Survey.

LEGALLY BLONDE ■ More than 1,100 tickets were sold to Creston High School’s musical “Legally Blonde”

held Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the school auditorium. The musical — which included a pit orchestra — was directed by Jane Warner and set designer was Shari Walters.

Students and staff of Creston High School will have the opportunity to experience a new yearbook in May, thanks to the school’s student- and teacher-based yearbook staff.

The group has assimilated video into the book, creating interactive memories for future generations.

The video pops up on a person’s smart phone through a free downloaded application called Aurasma.

“We have an account, so they just follow us,” said Dannee Qualseth, Creston High School English teacher and yearbook advisor. “We link a video to a picture, and they’ll be tagged throughout the yearbook. ... So, when they hold their phone over the tagged pictures, it’ll play the video.”

Beginning Qualseth said the school’s yearbook representative through Jostens, the company used to purchase the books, showed her and the other advisors the video during the 201213 school year. One example of the video is to hold the phone over a $20 bill, and it will show three-dimensional effects and play music.

do it this year,� Qualseth said. “Kind of put it on the back-burner last year and bring it back this year.�

Students were excited about the opportunity to format the yearbook to include video clips. “I think it’s really cool, and it’s a good way to keep everybody interactive because sometimes looking at pictures, it’s cool.

But, now the fact that we can, like hover over it (with our phones) and the thing starts to play, it makes it more in- Daggett teresting and cooler to look at,� said CHS Senior Bree Daggett.

Videos can be included from anywhere and anyone, including other students at the high school who send the video to the yearbook staff. “I think it’s really cool that you can really immerse yourself into the memory. Instead of just looking at a picture, you’re actually seeing it play

out in front of you,� said CHS Junior Mariah Harlan.

Video clips the yearbook staff have include ones from football games, cheering fans and science experiments.

Works

Students take video from a camera or phone, download the clips onto the computer and link the clips to certain photos. The photos are tagged with a small emblem to show they have video linked. The emblem is a paw print with a camera. “I like that we have opened it up so the students can take videos. They can send them to us and we can put their videos in the yearbooks, so it’s kind of like they’re making the yearbook, too,� said CHS Senior Tanna Smallwood.

Even though this is the first year the students and yearbook advisors are including the video clips, the work isn’t overwhelming. “They’re (students) on their phones a lot anyway, Instagram and things like that, so to shoot some video wasn’t a big deal,� Qualseth said.

The clips range from 30 seconds to several minutes. To watch a video, a person holds his or her smart phone over the tagged picture for as long as the video plays. “When we talked about it, one of the things we noticed with some of the yearbooks (with video) is they didn’t Qualseth mark some pictures, so you don’t know witch picture had video,� Qualseth said. “One of the things we have to make sure we do is tag the pictures, so we know which pictures have video.�

Qualseth said one qualm about using video was the longevity of it: how accessible will the videos be in the future, even though the app might still be popular? But, despite that, she is excited about the new technology. “It’s interactive,� Qualseth said. “Especially with how techy our kids are anymore, and a lot of our adults, it’s another way to bring that book to life.�

Facilitator training to help Latino youth succeed in school Juntos: Together for a Better Education, is a sixweek series of workshops designed for Latino families with eighth, ninth, or 10th grade students. The goal is to have families, school staff, and community partners, promote high school graduation among Latino youth and to explore paths to higher education. “The Latino population and school enrollment is increasing, yet the percentage of Latinos with a high school education is lower than the general population in Iowa,� said Sandra McKinnon, ISU Extension and Outreach family finance

specialist. “Research tells us that students that do not complete high school present a significant cost to the state of Iowa in the form of reduced tax revenues, additional welfare costs, higher unemployment and increased health issues and incarceration rates.�

Weekly workshop topics include: • Making education a family goal • Graduation requirements • Communicating with school and in your family • Financing college and other money matters • Getting ready for the

college application process • Creating a plan of action To bring the program to your area, a team of two or more trained individuals are needed. One team member should be fluent in English and Spanish.

Facilitator training will be held Dec. 9 and 10 at Green Hills Regional Area Education Agency in Creston.

A nominal fee covers the two-day training, plus breakfast, snacks and lunch each day. Registration is being taken by the ISU Union County Extension at 811 N. Sumner in Creston, phone 641-782-8426. Reg-

istration deadline is Dec. 5. For more information, visit http://www.extension. iastate.edu/humansciences/ juntos and click on facilitator training for a registration brochure.

Juntos (pronounced whon-tos) is coordinated statewide by ISU Extension and Outreach. To date, there are more than 78 trained facilitators. More than 200 families have participated in the series in Council Bluffs, Muscatine, Columbus Junction, Perry, Denison, Waterloo, Storm Lake, Marshalltown, Urbandale, Mount Pleasant and Ottumwa.

Not-so-fresh air Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about restaurant and store air fresheners: “One of my biggest pet peeves is going into a restaurant or store restroom and the air freshener is so strong that it is causing my COPD to act up.

I understand the air freshener being there, but have they ever heard of it not being so overpowering that you can’t breathe? I avoid stores that sell candles or bath fragrances, and some home-decorating stores.” — B.S., via email Some stores do “crank up” the holiday aroma during this time of year. Many times in a public restroom, especially if the building is older (which can mean old plumbing), the strong scent is used to mask other odors. About the only thing you can do is exactly what you are doing. You don’t have to go into a store, and you can order via phone, mail or online. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

Horoscope Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Expect difficulty dealing with partners and close friends today. Someone might say something that upsets you about shared property or your fair share of something. Grrrr.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work routine will be interrupted today, perhaps because of computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages, cancelled meetings or broken equipment. Someone in authority might complain.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your children, so be vigilant! Meanwhile, a task that you are working on or something to do with your job seems onerous. Good luck.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Children will be an increased responsibility today. This is perhaps due to accidents at home or because your home routine is upset or changed for some reason.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Slow down and take it easy. Be patient with someone older at home who is grumpy or demanding.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep an eye on your money scene today, because you might find money or you might lose money. Something will create some worry and stress for you today. Stay chill.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today you feel emotionally excitable about something.

This could be a fun excitement or not-so-fun excitement.

Something having to do with your finances might discourage you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Life is hard today. The Sun is in your sign, lined up with stern Saturn in your sign. It is what it is.

Fortunately, Jupiter is at the top of your chart, so life can’t be too hard.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A friend might do or say something that surprises or even shocks you. Meanwhile, news about increased responsibilities is pending or behind the scenes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Someone older or in a position of authority might rain on your parade today. Do not say or do anything that jeopardizes

your job or your relationship with a boss. Be cool.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans will be interrupted, changed or cancelled today. This could be because someone in authority has put the kibosh on things.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Check your bank account today, because unexpected events regarding shared property, taxes and debt might occur. Legal situations look a bit grim.

YOU BORN TODAY You are

ambitious, highly spirited and active! Not only do you have an investigative mind, you are intuitive. People love the energy and laughter you bring into their lives. This year something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new. Take it easy, and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel.

Costly turnovers sink Raiders in first trip to UNI-Dome Logan-Magnolia capitalizes for 28-7 victory

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

CEDAR FALLS — Two early turnovers dug Mount Ayr into a hole the eighthranked Raiders couldn’t climb out of here Friday in a Class A semifinal against top-ranked Logan-Magnolia.

The costly turnovers created a 21-0 deficit just 12:03 into the game, with the Raiders having run a total of 13 offensive plays, as the Panthers went on to post a 28-7 victory.

Logan-Magnolia improved to 13-0 for the season and advanced to Thursday’s Class A championship game against third-ranked Gladbrook-Reinbeck, which defeated Denver on Friday.

Mount Ayr, meanwhile, finishes its historic season with a mark of 11-2 after the school’s first ever trip to the UNI-Dome for the semifinals.

“Those two turnovers definitely deflated us,” Mount Ayr co-head coach Derek Lambert said. “When you’re in a new situation like this playing in the Dome for the first time, and something that big happens that bad for you, it’s hard to recover from. I think that was a big part of why we struggled there in the first half.”

After the Raiders’ first drive of the game came up empty, Logan-Magnolia converted a nine-play, 58-yard drive into seven points on an Austin Haner 2-yard touchdown run.

Mount Ayr senior football players hoist the team’s trophy after a 28-7 loss to top-ranked Logan-Magnolia Friday in the Class A semifinals at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. Pictured, from left, are Lincoln Martin (30), Joe Ricker, Grant Staats, Connor Giles (81), Jake Ricker (70), Tyler Triggs, Riley Weehler (9) and Tucker Winemiller (58). Mount Ayr graduates 11 seniors from this year’s 11-2 team, the first team in school history to make it to the UNI-Dome.

Facing third-and-seven on the next drive, Mount Ayr quarterback Jacob Taylor was sacked and fumbled on the play, as Ty Pitt recovered the ball on the 3-yard line for the Panthers. That set up a Riley Wohlers 3-yard touchdown run, making it 14-0 with 3:45 to go in the first quarter.

Again facing third-andseven, Grant Staats took a handoff up the middle, but had the ball knocked out of his hands. Pitt again recovered, and Logan-Magnolia covered 24 yards in seven plays, scoring on a Haner 1-yard run.

Suddenly, top-ranked Logan-Magnolia held a 21-0 lead and the Raider defense had hardly been off the field.

“I think we took them a little bit away from what they like to do in their offense,” said Matt Straight, Logan-Magnolia’s head coach.

“When you do that, they have to run a few more pass plays than they want to. We got them in the open field and hit them at the right time. Anytime you get turnovers that lead to scores, those are big momentum points in the game.”

Brady Charbonneau gave

the Panthers a 28-0 lead with 7:19 left in the first half when he scampered into the end zone from 4 yards out.

The Panthers outgained Mount Ayr 161 to 62 in total yardage in the first half.

“Those two turnovers, it gave them a short, short field,” Raider senior defensive end Joe Ricker said.

“It put a lot on our defense.

It’s hard to stop a 10yard field.

It was really crucial that they Ricker

got those. It was a big part of why we struggled that first half.”

“They’re a heck of a football team,” Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Showalter said. “They’re number one for a reason.

We couldn’t get their offense off the field and we couldn’t move the sticks in that first half. I thought we gave a great effort in that second half. Proud of the way our guys fought.”

Second half The Panthers started the second half with a long drive, threatening to move the

game to a running clock.

But, a fourth-and-14 pass was picked off by Raider senior Lincoln Martin, who returned the ball to the Mount Ayr 21-yard line and drew a horse collar penalty.

The Raiders picked up one first down, but eventually had to punt the ball away.

Despite not scoring in the second half, Logan-Magnolia was able to extend drives long enough to chew up clock. The Panthers had only one three-and-out drive in the game, on their final drive.

“Second half, we played our type of football,” Ricker said. “It showed we could beat them if we would have come out in the first half like we did in the second half.”

Mount Ayr closed the game on a 22-play, 92-yard scoring drive that chewed up most of the fourth quarter.

Kyle Dolecheck converted a third-and-10 play into a first down and Grant Staats picked up a first down on a fourthand-five play, which set up senior fullback Riley Weehler’s 2-yard touchdown Weehler run with :41 left in the game.

“I think our guys just believed in themselves that they could do the job,” Lambert said. “They did the Please see RAIDERS, page 8A

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

The Hawkeye 10 Conference honorees for all-conference volleyball were announced after Harlan’s Class 4A state championship victory on Friday.

League schools Lewis Central and Red Oak also participated in the state tournament in Class 4A and 3A, respectively.

Creston coach Polly Luther said the format of all-conference selections was different this year than in years past, and the Panthers’ rise to third place did not net the benefits that traditionally went with such a high finish.

“We finished third, and in the past that meant you had X amount of kids who would get recognized,” Luther said. “This year there were no set numbers based on finish, and there were no limits on how many kids you could nominate.”

As a result, Luther said, a large number of players ended up being nominated for first team, and unanimous selections were hard to come by. The only unanimous players were all-stater and Iowa State recruit Jess Schaben of Harlan, and Red Oak senior standout Kate Walker.

Even Harlan all-state tourney selections Taylor Frederick and setter Kenzie Swanson were not unanimous.

Also not unanimous was leading Creston hitter Natalie Mostek, but she was the Panthers’ only firstteam selection.

“To say I was disappointed would be an understate-

ment,” Luther said. “There were two athletic directors there for the first time, too, and they compiled votes so we really didn’t know how the tallies came out. Afterward they asked for feedback and one thing mentioned was that we need to go back to the way we were doing it.”

Despite the third-place finish in league play at 6-4 and the program’s first 20win season in more than 25 years, only three Panthers were honored.

Besides Mostek on the first team, Creston has setter Hanna Luther on the second team, and junior Alyssa Higgins earning honorable mention.

“With the season we had, we certainly had a lot more that were up for things and were worthy of mention,” Luther said. “But, Atlantic and Clarinda each had one player selected, for honorable mention, so we weren’t the only ones feeling the same way, I’m sure.”

Luther said Mostek earned w i d e spread respect around t h e league, despite not being Mostek a unani m o u s selection. Her overall play was as impressive as her team-high kill numbers at the net.

Besides having 283 kills — 137 more than junior Jenna Taylor with 146 as the next highest — Mostek also served 94 percent for the season with 21 aces; she was second on the team behind

Haylee LaMasters with 127 digs; and first on the team in total blocks with 93.

“Natalie is a great player,” Luther said. “We worked on some more things this year.

The more knowledge you have, the more confidence you have. She grew as a volleyball player. I remember turning to (assistant coach) Jessie McClellan one night and saying, ‘Welcome to Natalie’s house!’ As good as she was, she would be the first to tell you that you have to have a pass up and a setter to make a hitter like that. She shares the wealth.”

Strong setters The conference was loaded with quality setters, including all-around star Matti Munger of St. Albert and Harlan’s Swanson on the first team. Hanna Luther, the team’s three-year starting setter, had a season of the same stature, d e s p i t e Luther battling a painful back injury all season. She received treatments several times just to stay on the court.

“Hanna didn’t want a lot of people knowing that, but she was hurting and played through it at a high level,” coach Luther said. “When your game gets better you have so many more options, and that was the case with our team this year. She could pick and choose. She read things and set up what was going to happen as the Please see H-10, page 8A

CEDAR FALLS — Mount Ayr senior linebacker Riley Weehler summed up what it was like to be part of the first Mount Ayr football team to make it to the UNI-Dome for the semifinal round of the playoffs.

“It’s everything any Raider that’s ever played has dreamed of,” he said.

Weehler and the rest of Mount Ayr’s senior class broke new ground by making it to Friday’s Class A semifinal round against top-ranked Logan Magnolia.

Now, the challenge is for a future group of Raiders to take the program to the next level.

“You have set the bar tremendously high for Raider football,” co-head coach Delwyn Showalter said in a passionate post-

game speech as the Raiders gathered in the tunnel after their 28-7 loss to the Panthers.

“You know what?

There’s a group coming that’s going to go further than you did. And you guys Showalter are going to be right there cheering them on. It may be next year, it may be the year after that. We don’t know when it’s going to be.

“But I’ll guarantee there’s a lot of people watching you this year and they said, ‘I want to do what they did, and then I want to take it a little bit further!’ That’s what you guys did. You watched a lot of really outstanding teams and you said, ‘We want to be the ones that go further.’

“You set that goal. You worked for that goal. You accomplished that goal.

You didn’t hit all your goals. But you know what?

There’s a lot of times in life we don’t hit all our goals.

But working for those goals and striving for those goals makes you a champion.

You guys are champions in every sense of the word.”

Showalter went on to say that Mount Ayr’s senior class of 11 players set a great example for this year’s underclassmen and for future groups of Raider players.

Seniors on the Mount Ayr team Weehler, Blake Butler, Lincoln Martin, Ben Saville, Grant Staats, Tucker Winemiller, Tyler Triggs, Jesse Ruby, Jake Ricker, Joe Ricker and Connor Giles.

unbelievable,” he said.

“The will that you gave this team, the drive that you gave this team is unbelievable. We’ve had a lot of great seniors. We’ve never had a group any better than this one at putting the team on their back every single day and making sure that we got better.”

the UNI-Dome.

“You’ve taken Mount Ayr to the next level,” Lambert said. “You’ve taken us up the wrung on that ladder that we talk about all the time. It’s because of your work ethic.

“I’m so proud of the effort you gave,” he continued. “Things didn’t go our way. We had a lot of things

Co-head coach Derek Lambert said the work ethic this year’s Raider senior class displayed was a big part of the Lambert team making it to

that did not go our way.

Yet we still continued to battle. We turned the page and we continued to battle.

That’s the sign of a good football team, guys. That’s a sign of a great football team. I couldn’t be prouder to stand anywhere else than in this group right here.”

Joe Ricker, another se-

nior on the team agreed with Lambert — he wouldn’t have wanted to share this experience with any other group of players.

“We’re the first team (from Mount Ayr) to go to the Dome,” he said. “It’s what we dreamed of ever since we were little. I love my team. I wouldn’t do it with anyone else.”

It’s how close the team

became during the season that Ricker said he’ll remember most about Mount Ayr’s season.

“Just the brotherhood we have,” he said. “I’m so close to all of the teammates I have. A lot of the juniors I know really well. They’re going to do really well next year. A lot of good athletes.”

RAIDERS: Continued from page 6A

whole game anyway, but we started to hammer at them between the tackles a little bit. I think if we had another quarter, we’d have a little bit more of an opportunity there. It seemed like they had some long drives that kept our offense off the field.”

After being outgained by 99 yards in the first half, Mount Ayr closed the gap in total yardage to 265 for Logan-Magnolia to 205 for the Raiders.

“It’s hard to say you’re all right after a loss like that, but I’m proud of our guys,” Weehler said. “We fought.

They were down on the goal line and we shut them out.

Then we drove all the way down the field and punched it in finally. That’s huge.

That shows we didn’t give up. I’m proud of our guys.”

Straight said his team wanted to control the clock in the second half, keeping the Raider offense, which had struck for big plays all year, off the field.

“As long as they didn’t get big plays, we felt really good about our chances,” he said.

“We knew the only way for them to get back in the game was for us to turn the ball over or for them to get big plays.”

Strong effort As the Raiders left the field and gathered in the tunnel at the UNI-Dome, Showalter delivered a passionate speech in which he told his team how proud he was of the effort it put forth.

“They’re the number one ranked team in the state and we gave them everything

they wanted in that second half,” he said. “We won that second half. We gave them two scores in the first half.

At worst, that’s a 14-7 ballgame. And you know that.

They know that.”

In the end, though, Logan-Magnolia’s quickness up front, combined with the costly turnovers, were too much for the Raiders to overcome.

“They’re really quick on their line,” Showalter said.

“They’re not real big. As quick as they move, that size difference is basically not a factor. That was real difficult for us up front. We didn’t tackle real well that first half.”

Logan-Magnolia had its best success running the ball away from Mount Ayr’s two-time all-state defensive lineman Joe Ricker.

“That 73 for them, the Ricker kid. Oh man, he’s hard to contain,” Straight said. “We tried to figure our where he was and go away from him. Man on man, we can’t block him. He was too much for us, too quick. He’s as impressive as we’ve seen all year. So we tried to avoid that.”

Ricker finished the game with seven total tackles, despite Logan-Magnolia running away from him.

Weehler recorded 15 total tackles from his inside linebacker position and Caleb Schnoor finished with nine total tackles.

The Panthers ran for 237 yards on the ground, led by Charbonneau’s 86 yards on 21 carries. Wohlers added 77 yards on 11 carries and Haner had 50 yards on nine carries.

Staats led Mount Ayr with

quarterback of the team.

She could also dump into openings.”

Also an all-conference soccer player, Luther’s athleticism came in handy when setting accurately on the move.

“Hanna can set an outof-system ball as good as anyone,” coach Luther said. “She chased down a lot of balls and made it look easy. It’s not easy.”

The team was as deep in defenders as it was in hitters, and Higgins was effective, Luther said, even if her Higgins numbers were not as high as some others.

Higgins had 58 digs and also served 95 percent with 18 aces.

“Alyssa quietly did a great job for us,” Luther said. “She covered so well and had an ability to read things. She anticipates things, which you have to do in that position. She has such a great work ethic.

You tell her what you want

her to do, and she works to do it.”

Harvick wins Homestead to claim 1st championship

By JENNA FRYER

AP Auto Racing Writer

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — There was no trick to Kevin Harvick’s first Sprint Cup championship. Competing for the title against three other drivers, he seized his opportunity with a relentless dash through the field in the closing laps of the season finale.

It was exactly what NASCAR was looking for when it revamped its playoff format this year to try to force drivers

to win races.

Harvick picked off car after car, and passed two other title contenders on a series of restarts as he aggressively chased both the victory and the title Sunday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway. His desperate drive from 12th to first over the final 15 laps gave Harvick the championship over Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman and Joey Logano.

All four were determined to claim their first career title, and all four raced to win.

DES MOINES (AP) — It’s sign-up time again for people looking to buy medical insurance under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

The second enrollment period to get benefits started Saturday and runs through Feb. 15.

Last year, the enrollment period was stymied by a poorly functioning website Obama and widespread public confusion, and officials have worked to improve the site so it functions better during a crush of visitors.

“This is the time when everybody puts their new products on the line, best prices on the line,” said Cliff Gold, chief executive officer of CoOportunity Health, a federally funded nonprofit established to provide health care in Iowa and Nebraska.

“There are deals for people.

There are opportunities for people.”

The health care law was designed to reduce the number of people without health insurance, both through an expansion of Medicaid and with new health care marketplaces where people can shop for private coverage and apply for government aid to pay premiums.

Just over 29,000 people signed up for health insurance in Iowa using the federal insurance marketplace during the first enrollment period.

Another roughly 113,000 people are enrolled in Iowa’s modified Medicaid expansion, a federally funded program that enrolls some people in a state-run health plan, while others get premiums covered for private insurance.

Iowa Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart said the state hasn’t analyzed whether the number of uninsured

Yes, insurance companies can legally pay you less than what you are owed and do not have to tell you the truth. Many injured workers fail to learn the Injured Workers Bill of Rights which includes: 1. Payment of Mileage at $.56 per mile 2. Money for Permanent Disability 3. 2nd Medical Opinion in Admitted Claims. . . . A New Book reveals your other rights and much more so you do not get ripped-off.

Iowa Work Injury Attorney Corey Walker offers his book at no cost because since 1997, he has seen far too many hard working Iowans who did not know their rights treated badly by insurance companies. If you or a loved one have been hurt at work and do not have an attorney claim your copy (while supplies last). Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 311 (24 Hour Recording) or go to www.IowaWorkInjury.com. Our Guarantee- If you do not learn at least one thing from our book call us and we will donate $1,000 to your charity of choice.

people has declined, though he noted that Iowa had a relatively high rate of insurance coverage — roughly 90 percent — to being with.

In the second year of enrollment, Gerhart said the state is offering some educational outreach and several medical organizations are helping enroll people.

While there were some complaints early on, with people reporting they were not getting their insurance cards or wondering what the plans covered, Gerhart said overall he has heard few concerns.

Trish McMullin, 60, of Des Moines, said she was able to afford insurance for the first time in about seven years thanks to the health care law.

She qualified for subsidies to buy a plan and could schedule tests she had been putting off, like a colonoscopy. “(I feel) relief, peace of mind,” said McMullin, who will again apply for insurance for 2015 but doesn’t know the specific plan she’ll buy or the monthly cost. “There’s always that in the back of your head. What catastrophic thing could happen?”

Political conflict over the health overhaul continues.

Republicans will control Congress in 2015 and could try to dismantle the law.

And the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could threaten the subsidies provided to people in states like Iowa that don’t offer a state-run exchange. The White House has pledged to aggressively defend the law.

Iowa is among 37 states using HealthCare.gov as their insurance marketplace.

Those who want to see if they qualify for federal subsidies to help pay for coverage must apply through the site. Penalties for people who do not have insurance increase in 2015.

Premiums are expected to go up next year, although

“This is the time when everybody puts their new products on the line, best prices on the line.”

— Cliff Gold

Chief Executive Officer CoOportunity Health

many could get help from federal subsidies.

According to data from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, premiums will increase by an average of about 11 percent in Iowa and the average monthly premium in 2015 will be $357.

CoOportunity and Coventry Health Care will offer plans on the exchange for Iowa. The state’s biggest insurer, Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield, will not.

For people shopping for the first time, or looking to renew or change benefits, Gerhart said they need to closely review their options.

“Make sure you understand what your financial commitment will be. Make sure your doctor is in that network. I would encourage people to confirm that,” Gerhart said.
