[SOLVED] Posts marked sticky don't show up with sticky formatting

I've been loving the configurability of Atahualpa, but now having a problem with sticky posts. It's my first time using stickies so maybe I'm missing something. I have a post marked sticky from the dashboard (and Wordpress confirms to me that it's sticky), yet the formatting that I've indicated in the Atahualpa options doesn't show up. And when I view the source code, there's nothing in that post that indicates that wp is registering the post as sticky. Do I need to change something in index.php for it to register sticky posts?

Test site is at http://www.genevieveraymond.com/michcitizenaction/. It's that top post. Currently I have a graphic in there, but if I can get sticky formatting to work, I'd like to do my best to mimic that image with css.

Thanks,
Genevieve
