ST. LOUIS (AP) – A public visitation for baseball great Stan Musial will be Thursday at the Cathedral Basilica in St. Louis. The St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer died Saturday at age 92. The Cardinals announced Monday that the public visitation will be 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday. A funeral Mass will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, also at Cathedral Basilica. New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson and Bishop Richard Stika will officiate.
Following the Mass, the funeral procession will travel to Busch Stadium where the family will lay a wreath at the base of the Musial statue. After that, a private burial is planned. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Covenant House or a charity of choice in Musial’s name.
Jim Field and Chris Parks have the call of the games played at Adair-Casey High School.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Flowers, balloons, cards and other remembrances are crowding around the Stan Musial statue at Busch Stadium as fans pay tribute to the man once described as “baseball’s perfect knight.” Musial, the St. Louis Cardinals great and a beloved figure in St. Louis, died Saturday at his home in St. Louis County. He was 92.
Within hours of his death, fans began leaving tributes at the Musial statue that first stood outside the old Busch Stadium and was moved to the new ballpark when it opened in 2006. Musial hit .331 for his 22-year career, all with the Cardinals. He died less than a year after his wife of 71 years, Lil, who died in May.
Iowa bicycling enthusiasts may not be able to do much pedaling in the freezing cold right now, but they’ll be flocking by the thousands to Des Moines later this week for the Iowa Bicycle Summit. Mark Wyatt, executive director of the Iowa Bicycle Coalition, says it’s actually three big events rolled into one weekend. “We have the Iowa Bicycle Summit which is our education conference,” Wyatt says. “We train people to build trails and teach people how to install bike lanes and build better bicycling facilities into communities. The second thing we have is the Iowa Bike Expo which is our big outdoor enthusiast’s place to see new gear, new bicycles and find new destinations to vacation with your bicycle next summer.”
The third event is the Route Announcement Party for the annual RAGBRAI, a statewide ride that draws more than 10-thousand cyclists from across the world every summer. Wyatt says this statewide summit event at the Iowa Events Center continues to grow every year. “We’re actually setting a record for the Iowa Bicycle Summit at 140 people so far registered, so that’s outstanding,” Wyatt says. “The Iowa Bike Expo, last year we had great weather and had about 3,000 people attend. We have over 90 vendors that are going to be present to talk about bikes and gear and destinations.”
Iowa has some two-thousand miles of bike trails, with some of the longest continuous trail systems in the country. “Over half of Iowans, and we have 3-million Iowans, over half own a bicycle,” Wyatt says. “They may not ride them but certainly we know people have access to bicycles. It’s not too difficult to see the large increases in the amount people bicycling, especially with the introduction of a lot of trails and bike lanes and other infrastructure we have that really make it easy to go out and enjoy yourself.”
