Daily Iowegian

CENTERVILLE — The children of Dick and Marianne Wakefield are hosting an open house July 31 from 2-4 p.m. in the lobby of the Continental Hotel to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary of their parents.

The couple was married Aug. 2, 1951 with the Rev. M.R. Gonzalez officiating at the Mystic Methodist Church. They are both retired. Dick managed super markets for 37 years in Des Moines, Oelwein, Ottumwa and Centerville. Marianna was secretary at the Ottumwa Schools and Rathbun Fish Hatchery.

The Wakefields have three children: Cindy Rovner and her husband Mike of West Des Moines; Tom Wakefield and his wife Rhonda of Johnston; and Barbara Owca and her husband Joe of Clive. They have three grandchildren.

The couple requests no gifts.

The Iowegian wants readers to think about the debate Rep. Larry Sheets talks about at the state capital centered on "accepting Medicaid expansion as defined by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), or choosing to create an Iowa specific health care program. Those who prefer the Medicaid expansion believe the federal government will fulfill its commitments three years from now. Those opposing explain that the federal government is only capable of that by borrowing the money from the Chinese." So, the question this week is, "Should Iowa accept the federal government's Medicaid expansion or create a health care program specific to the state?"

A. Accept Medicaid expansion.
B. Create health care program.
