DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad has ordered flags flown at half-staff to honor a Marine with Iowa roots who was killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Master Sgt. Travis Riddick died on Jan. 21. A memorial service is scheduled for Sunday at Centerville High School. Branstad has ordered all U.S. and state flags flown at all state buildings to be flown at half-staff beginning at 5 p.m. today (Friday) until 8 a.m. Monday in honor of the 40-year-old Riddick, who is formerly from Centerville. Branstad also encourages individuals, businesses, schools and city and county offices across Iowa to lower their flags to half-staff during those hours as a sign of respect.

SNOW MIXED WITH RAIN IS FORECAST ON TODAY ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SLEET AND LIGHT SNOW OVER THE REGION THIS MORNING. VERY LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED WHICH MAY LEAD TO A FEW SLICK SPOTS ON AREA ROADS THIS MORNING.
A study by the Iowa Bicycle Coalition has determined that the economic and health benefits of cycling amount to nearly 365-million dollars of direct or indirect impact on the state. Coalition executive director, Mark Wyatt, says the direct impact involves a lot of things. “It’s people spending money on bicycle gear and equipment, and it’s people taking trips and enjoying unique trails, or having the opportunity for hotel stays, and things like that that really add up in dollars very quickly,” Wyatt says. He says the impact is bigger than they expected. “That’s a million dollars per day that’s spent on bicycling…averaged out over the year,” Wyatt says. The study estimates that bicycling saves the state 73-point-nine-million dollars in healthcare costs for those who cycle recreational, and it shows another 13-thousand-266 dollars in health care costs saved by those who commute to work. Wyatt says the impact of the states bike trails could be even bigger.
“I think there’s a huge opportunity for tourism, and one of the things that this study didn’t address was out-of-state tourism dollars coming into the state,” Wyatt explains. The survey was released on the heels of the annual Iowa Bicycle Summit, which is Saturday in Des Moines. Wyatt says the summit has been an education session the past eight years, but this year they’ve expanded it to a consumer expo. “People can come and look at bike gear and talk to people who’re running bike trail events, and all sorts of trends and what’s great about bicycling,” Wyatt says. There are some 50 vendors who will be at the summit. The event runs from 8:30 a-m until 4:30 p-m at Veterans Auditorium in Des Moines. You can find out more at: www.iowabicyclecoalition.org.
