Compromised offered on Bradgate road

The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and the city of Bradgate may have reached a temporary solution to road shoulder problems on County Road C-26 through the city. Supervisor Jerry Haverly made a motion at the board's meeting on Monday to add gravel edging to increase the shoulder height on C-26, within the community of Bradgate. “We have helped other towns out in situations like this. I would move to have the funds come from the county’s portion of Local Option Sales Tax dollars,” Haverly said. The supervisors voted unanimously for the motion. Supervisor Carl Mattes was not in attendance. The decision came after more discussion on the matter. Last week, Bradgate Mayor Sandy Edler showed the board pictures of the deteriorating condition of the roadway shoulders in her community. The pictures showed where the crushed rock and gravel leading up to the pavement were sometimes three to four inches below the top of the road.

Humboldt native safe at Boston Marathon

A Humboldt native competed in his first Boston Marathon on Monday, but finished about 50 minutes ahead of the explosions that rocked the finish line of the race, killing three and wounding more than 170 people. Trent Biederman, 34, Aurora, IL, is the son of Dave and Mary Biederman of Humboldt. Trent and his wife, Megan, were safe and sound and about a mile away from the blast, back at their motel, at the time the explosion occurred, about 1:50 p.m. Iowa time Monday. “He finished about 50 minutes ahead of that, but we didn’t know that and were very scared and concerned for a time Monday afternoon,” Mary Biederman said. “The cell service had been shut down and we couldn’t get in touch with him. He texted our daughter and told her he was OK, but we were on pins and needles for about a half an hour or 40 minutes, not knowing,” Mary said. Trent was able to call his parents later in the afternoon.
