Sheriff’s officials in Audubon County say no injuries were reported following a rollover accident Sunday afternoon, in the northwestern part of the county. Authorities say 21-year old Hannah Elizabeth Daiker, of Manning, was traveling east on a snow-covered County Road F-24, when her 1998 Chevy Malibu drove onto the south shoulder.
When Daiker tried to get the car back on the road, the vehicle slid sideways across the road and entered the north ditch, where it rolled onto its top. The accident happened at around 2:45-p.m. near the intersection with Bluebird Avenue, or about three-miles north of Fiscus.
Damage to the car was estimated at $2,000.

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.”
