## Early Waverly history

### Indian reservation

The first permanent residents of Waverly were settled there against their will. Because of their alleged assistance given to Chief Black Hawk during the Blackhawk War of 1832, the Winnebago were forced to cede their lands east of the Mississippi and to move to Neutral Ground in what is now northeastern Iowa. They were to receive $270,000 ($10,000 per year for 27 years) and were required to surrender several of their tribesmen accused of murdering whites during the war. At that time there were three tribes living in the area, the Ho-Chunk numbering about 500, the Meskwaki numbering about 100 and the Pottawattomi numbering about 50. With Iowa statehood in 1846, the Winnebago were moved again. In an 1845 treaty, the Winnebago exchanged their Iowa lands for the 800,000-acre (3,200 km2) Long Prairie (Crow Wing River) reserve in Minnesota and $190,000. In 1848, a detachment of United States troops from Fort Atkinson, Iowa, came to enforce the removal. All told, between 1840 and 1863, the Winnebagoes were moved five times. They were pushed first to northeastern Iowa, then to Long Prairie, Minnesota, then to Blue Earth, Minnesota, then to Crow Creek, South Dakota. In 1865, after the constant upheaval cost 700 tribal members’ lives, the current Winnebago Reservation in Nebraska was established by the treaties of 1865 and 1874. The tribe lost more than two thirds of this land in the General Allotment Act of 1887. By 1913, only 120,000 acres (490 km2) of cropland, woodland, and pasture remained. The tribe is federally recognized and organized under the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act. The Winnebago Tribe established a constitution in 1936 which was amended in 1968.

### Settlement

Frederick Cretzmeyer is credited with being the first European settler in Waverly. Having purchased 160 acres (0.6 km2) in 1852, he built a log hut on the east side of the Cedar River (or what was once called the Red Cedar River). Soon more homes were constructed as other settlers arrived, with some of their later homes built just over the hill behind the old recycling center.

William Patterson Harmon came to Waverly in the spring of 1853 with the idea of establishing a town and a saw mill. He purchased most of what is now Waverly from the United States Government for $1.25 an acre. The area was incorporated as a town on April 25, 1859, according to the Library of the State of Iowa. (A centennial celebration was held in August 1956.)

Two stories exist on how the town was named. The speaker at the ceremony was said to have been a fan of Sir Walter Scott's Waverley novels and when it came time to name the town (which settlers had wanted to call Harmonville or Harmon) he inadvertently called it Waverly. The myth goes that Jennie Harmon Case later wrote that it was her father who was the speaker and that he made the decision to name the town after the favorite book, instead of the proposed "Harmonville." Coincidentally, Bremer County's name also honors a person eminent in literature. Bremer was named in 1850 by Governor Hempstead, who was an admirer of the Swedish feminist author Fredrika Bremer.

The first school was started by Charles Ensign in a log cabin in 1854. A stone school house was erected by 1855 and additional schools were built in 1861 and 1868. The first graduating class of the Waverly High School was the class of 1875 with two students. Wartburg College moved to Waverly from Clinton, Iowa, in 1856. The public library was established in 1866.

In 2014, the Waverly East Bremer Avenue Commercial Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Among the noted buildings in the listing is the WPA-era post office, which contains a mural designed by artist Mildred W. Pelzer for the Section of Painting and Sculpture, later called the Section of Fine Arts, of the Treasury Department. The painting, called "A Letter from Home in 1856", depicted a farm family pausing during plowing to read a letter from their former home.

abstract:
In enzymology, a N-acetylglucosaminyl-proteoglycan 4-beta-glucuronosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
  - UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate + N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucuronosyl- proteoglycan ⇌ UDP + beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)- beta-D-glucuronosyl-proteoglycan The 3 substrates of this enzyme are UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate, [[N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucuronosyl-]], and proteoglycan, whereas its 3 products are UDP, [[beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-]], and beta-D-glucuronosyl-proteoglycan. This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate:N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-beta-D- glucuronosyl-proteoglycan 4-beta-glucuronosyltransferase.

# N-acetylglucosaminyl-proteoglycan 4-beta-glucuronosyltransferase

In enzymology, a **N-acetylglucosaminyl-proteoglycan 4-beta-glucuronosyltransferase** (EC 2.4.1.225) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate + N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1-\>4)-beta-D-glucuronosyl- proteoglycan $\rightleftharpoons $ UDP + beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1-\>4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1-\>4)- beta-D-glucuronosyl-proteoglycan

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate, \[\[N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1-\>4)-beta-D-glucuronosyl-\]\], and proteoglycan, whereas its 3 products are UDP, \[\[beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1-\>4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1-\>4)-\]\], and beta-D-glucuronosyl-proteoglycan.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is **UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate:N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-(1-\>4)-beta-D- glucuronosyl-proteoglycan 4-beta-glucuronosyltransferase**.

# Fourth North Carolina Provincial Congress

The **Fourth North Carolina Provincial Congress** was one of five extra-legal unicameral bodies that met beginning in the summer of 1774 through 1776. They were modeled after the colonial lower house (House of Commons). These congresses created a government structure, issued bills of credit to pay for the movement, organized an army for defense, wrote a constitution and bill of rights that established the state of North Carolina, and elected their first acting governor in the fifth congress that met in 1776. These congresses paved the way for the first meeting of the North Carolina General Assembly on April 7, 1777 in New Bern, North Carolina. The Fourth Congress met in Halifax from April 4 to May 14, 1776. Samuel Johnston served as president, with Allen Jones as vice-president.

## Legislation

The delegates authorized their representatives to the Second Continental Congress to vote for the Declaration of Independence, including Joseph Hewes, William Hooper, and John Penn. The 83 delegates present on April 12, 1776 adopted the Halifax Resolves. On April 13, 1776, the delegates formed a committee to start working on a North Carolina Constitution, which was ratified in December 1776 by the Fifth North Carolina Provincial Congress. In April, 1776, the congress passed a resolve to move loyalists while allowing them to dispose of their property. Later in May 1776, the congress passed a resolve to confiscate the property of those taking up arms against the United States.

Madden wrote for Pro Wrestling Torch from 1992 to 1994. His most notable moment during this time came during an interview with baseball legend Hank Aaron, who was working for the Atlanta Braves at the time and was informed by Madden of the employment of "Cowboy" Bill Watts by World Championship Wrestling, then a sister company to the Braves via their common ownership by Turner Broadcasting System. Madden had informed Aaron about racist comments Watts had made to the wrestling media before being hired by WCW as head booker and president, leading to Aaron to push for Watts' removal.

The story gave Madden national attention, and he was eventually hired by WCW to work as a TV color commentator and magazine writer by Watts' replacement as WCW president, Eric Bischoff. Much of his time during WCW's peak in the Monday Night War was behind the scenes, though he ran the WCW Hotline, a 900 number service with "insider tips" alongside Gene Okerlund. He also befriended his childhood idol, Ric Flair, whom Madden had watched as a child on Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling via his UHF antenna on WJNL-TV in Johnstown (now Jeannette-licensed WPKD-TV); the two remained close friends for decades.

Starting in early 2000, he began appearing on WCW television on a regular basis, replacing Bobby Heenan (in both a cost-cutting move also due to Heenan's declining health) on the commentary booth on *WCW Monday Nitro* & *WCW Thunder*, as well as the pay-per-view events. Primarily a heel during this time, Madden's wrestling persona would be similar to his radio talk show persona in Pittsburgh. He did see some in-ring action against Okerlund (both losses), as well as being unprovokingly attacked by Tank Abbott who started randomly attacking people (ironically at Madden's encouragement) until Bill Goldberg answered a challenge that never was resolved on WCW television.

During his run as color commentator on WCW, Madden began wearing Hawaiian shirts at the insistence of Vince Russo. Madden, who didn't like wearing a shirt and tie, liked it so much that he continues to wear them today on his radio show and as a panelist on a Sunday night sports show on WPXI until he was fired from the show in 2021.

Shortly before Vince McMahon purchased WCW in March 2001, Madden was fired in December 2000 for making disparaging remarks about the company, lobbying for the return of the fired Scott Hall, and disclosing information about the sale of WCW.

#### Post-WCW (2001–present)

Madden spent several years as a regular columnist for Wade Keller's *Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter*.

Within the wrestling world, Madden was known for his legitimate running feud with Diamond Dallas Page. Madden has often blamed Page for his firing from WCW (though he was happy to go at the time) and has often referred to him as "DDMe" on his online articles and radio shows. While Page has offered to appear on Madden's show, Madden declines each time. While Madden gave Page credit for turning around the lives of Jake Roberts and Scott Hall, he cited Page's use of TV cameras to film the progress of their rehabilitation in Page's home, which he felt was unnecessary and more or less was used to fuel Page's ego. By 2020, however, Madden and Page had made up at a Starrcast event, at the encouragement of Sean Waltman. Madden is also known for his long-running feud with Jim Cornette,

After weeks of teasing it, in 2021, Madden began co-hosting *The Best Wrestling Show.* with former WWE VP of Global Television Production Mike Mansury, a wrestling podcast produced by Pat McAfee. The podcast was available for free on YouTube. The podcast went on hiatus on May 13, 2021, after a little over two months due to Masury taking another job and him & Madden unable to work out logistics.

On August 11, 2021, Madden was booed while in attendance at the All Elite Wrestling event at the Petersen Events Center for *AEW Dynamite* and *AEW Dark: Elevation*, sitting ringside. During the *Dark: Elevation* taping, he was acknowledged on-air by former WCW colleagues Tony Schiavone & Paul Wight and guest commentator Eddie Kingston during the Sammy Guevara-Serpentico match when Guevara threw Serpentico's tag team partner Luther into the barricade in front of Madden.

On November 17, 2021, Madden returned to wrestling podcasting when he became the host of Ric Flair's *Wooooo Nation Uncensored.* The podcast came to an abrupt end on March 27, 2022, when Madden announced his resignation and thanked Flair for the opportunity, which was followed by Flair admitting that Madden was fired and replaced by Flair's son-in-law Conrad Thompson. It eventually led to a Twitter exchange that saw the two end their friendship after 35 years.

### Local sports journalism

A 1982 graduate of Duquesne University, and member of Tau Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity, Madden has also worked within mainstream sports journalism, including fifteen years at the *Pittsburgh Post-Gazette*, where he primarily covered high schools for the paper's suburban sections, as well as stints at the now-defunct *Penguins Report* and the weekly *Pittsburgh City Paper*. He subsequently appeared as a featured guest on *Action Sports Sunday* on WTAE-TV, a half-hour sports discussion show. The *Post-Gazette* reported on November 17, 2006, that WTAE-TV dropped Mark Madden as a freelance sports commentator on its Sunday night sports show. In 2015, Madden joined WPNT for a nightly televised sports talk show, an edited replay of his radio show, which was removed from WPNT's schedule in 2016. Madden often nicknames himself the "Super Genius" on his programs and social media due to having an IQ score of 166, of which he was tested on in the fourth grade.

Madden wrote a weekly column called "Monday Madden" for the *Beaver County Times*, a Pittsburgh-area newspaper, starting in May 2007; the column continued for over a decade until his departure to work for TribLive in 2018.

In May 2008, Madden was fired from his talk show on Pittsburgh's 1250 ESPN radio station for the following comment: "I'm very disappointed to hear that Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts is near death because of a brain tumor. I always hoped Senator Kennedy would live long enough to be assassinated."

Another area of sports in which Madden is heavily involved is the game of street hockey. Madden runs Street Hockey USA, and is also involved in the American Street Hockey Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to growing the game of street/dek/ball hockey in America. He has coached numerous National Champion teams over the years (most notably his Pittsburgh Wizards team), as well as coaching the United States Junior team to a gold medal in the 2006 World Junior Championship in Germany.

On April 3, 2011, his *Beaver County Times* column addressed a then-current grand jury investigation into alleged child sexual abuse by former Penn State football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, suggesting the possibility of a Penn State cover-up. After Sandusky was indicted on over 40 felony charges, Madden appeared on *The Dennis and Callahan Show*, a Boston sports talk radio program, on November 10. During his appearance, he reported a rumor being investigated by two prominent columnists that Sandusky and his Second Mile children's charity may have been "pimping out young boys to rich donors."

#### Views on Pittsburgh sports teams

Madden's views on Pittsburgh's three major professional sports teams are mixed. While Madden usually defends the Penguins, he has mixed views about the Pittsburgh Steelers and is harshly critical of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

With the Steelers Madden has often praised the Rooney family for going all-out to win but questions the team's decisions regarding off-field actions of their players, and was particularly critical of Antonio Brown. Madden has also been critical of the team's non-confrontational tactics regarding team legends near the end of their careers dating back to Franco Harris, though he did defend the team regarding James Harrison.

Along with John Steigerwald, Madden was one of the few local sports journalists to defend former Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart, feeling Stewart was being unfairly judged due to being African American and was also critical of the Steelers decision to have Stewart downplay rumors of his homosexuality.

With regards to the Pirates, Madden is highly critical of team owner Robert Nutting placing profits ahead of putting a competitive product on the field and is critical of Pirates fans who continuously support the team, feeling that the team will not be consistently a contender unless Nutting sells the team. As such, Madden is one of the only local sportscasters who will not cover the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Madden, did, however, defend the Pirates decision to have Todd Frazier designated for assignment after batting .086 in 35 plate appearances, leading to a Twitter feud between the two and many Pittsburghers laughing at Madden after Frazier was fat shaming Madden during the feud.

## Personal life

Madden was raised as an only child by a single mother in Reserve Township. He lived at home with her until he was 40 years old, having never met his father nor showing any interest in tracking him down. His mother, a speech teacher at North Hills High School with whom Madden was very close with, died in 2006.

Madden is an avid fan of Liverpool F.C and often watches Liverpool games during his program, giving commentary during his program. He is also a fan of classic rock and heavy metal music. His favorite band is UFO, and plays their song "Too Hot to Handle" from their album *Lights Out* at the beginning of his show, while playing Liverpool's chant at the end of the Pink Floyd song "Fearless" from their album *Meddle* to close out his show.

More local to Pittsburgh, Madden is also a fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, having attended at least one game since their inaugural season, and idolizes Penguins center Mario Lemieux. Late in Lemieux's career, Madden made note of his "repeatedly trying to score directly off faceoffs." He once bet Lemieux $66 that he could not score directly off a draw. Lemieux thought the $66 bet was "cheap," and challenged Madden to a $6,600 bet. Madden accepted, and agreed that all the money would go to the Mario Lemieux Foundation. Lemieux had attempted the shot several times, with the closest effort being a post shot against the Calgary Flames on December 21, 2002. On December 23, 2002, Lemieux lined up against Buffalo Sabres faceoff specialist Chris Gratton. With the Penguins tied 2-2 and Gratton being a left-handed draw, Lemieux used the opportunity to take the shot on net. Lemieux shot the puck as it was dropped, going between Gratton's legs, off defenseman Alexei Zhitnik's skate, and eventually past goaltender Mika Noronen. Lemieux immediately looked to the pressbox, where he knew Madden was watching the game, and raised his arms. Lemieux admitted to trying the shot several times and that it was a tough shot to do without a good bounce. After the goal, Madden said he was planning a telethon to help him raise the $6,600 promised to the Mario Lemieux Foundation.

Madden was hospitalized on January 29, 2006, after suffering a heart attack during a dek-hockey tournament in Reading, Pennsylvania. Madden drove himself to a local hospital after feeling nauseated, and had the heart procedure done a day after checking in. He resumed his radio show three days later, although in a different time slot.

In October & November 2021, what was originally planned as a quick vacation to Las Vegas turned into 2+12 weeks off after Madden tested positive for COVID-19. Madden, who had been fully vaccinated and an advocate for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, said that being vaccinated "saved his life".

title: Mark Stewart (artist)

abstract: Mark Stewart an American realist artist who paints primarily in watercolor. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Environmental Design and master's degree in Architecture. Upon completion of graduate school he received the American Institute of Architects Medal and Certificate for the Outstanding Graduate for the 1975-76 school year. He is a registered architect in the state of Texas. Since 1975 Mark has pursued dual careers, one in art and the other in architecture. Mark and his family currently reside in Houston, Texas. Mark began drawing as a means of expression and exploration as a small child, but did not begin painting until after graduation from college. For the most part, he is self-taught, drawing experience from careful studies of the works of realist painters like Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper, and impressionist and abstract painters like Wolf Kahn and Cy Twombly. Concerning his subject matter, he likes to emphasize simpler things which suggest use by people, a time or an atmosphere. Finding and expressing mystery in everyday life has always been Mark's artistic credo...the patternless life and color of a crazy quilt, the silent invitation of a canoe waiting to cross the open water, the poignance of a child's abandoned tea party. Mark prefers realism, breaking from the current trends in American art toward abstraction and expressionism. His deep personal faith forms a basis from which to verify and depict reality. Not wanting to slavishly copy nature, he strives to observe and create an interpretation consistent with reality and his personal experience. Since 1980, when Mark began commercially exhibiting his watercolors, he has had many one man exhibitions of his work and has been represented by galleries around the United States. The quality of his work has been recognized over the years in numerous art magazine articles, gallery shows and museum exhibits. While being featured twice in SouthWest Art magazine, his work appeared on the cover of the September 1987 issue. He has illustrated two book covers, and in 1988 New York Graphic Society began printing a selection of his work for worldwide distribution and in 2002 Bruce McGaw Graphics also began printing Mark's work.

# Mark Bostridge

**Mark Bostridge** is a British writer and critic, known for his historical biographies.

## Life and career

He was educated at Westminster School and read Modern History at St Anne's College, Oxford, from 1979 to 1984. At Oxford, he was awarded the Gladstone Memorial Prize. After university, he worked for a time for Shirley Williams, then President of the SDP. Later, he worked for BBC Television.

His first book was *Vera Brittain: A Life*, co-written with Paul Berry and published in 1995. This biography of the writer and peace campaigner Vera Brittain was shortlisted for the two major non-fiction prizes of its day, the Whitbread Prize and the NCR Book Award as well as the Fawcett Prize. Bostridge's next Brittain project was a collaboration with Alan Bishop. Their edition of her letters was published in 1998 as *Letters from a Lost Generation*, and Bostridge adapted the letters for a BBC Radio Four series starring Amanda Root as Brittain and Rupert Graves as Roland Leighton, who was killed in the First World War.

Bostridge's *Lives For Sale*, an anthology of biographers' tales, was published in 2004. In 2008, he published *Florence Nightingale: The Woman and Her Legend*, the first major biography of Florence Nightingale in over half a century, which was awarded the 2009 Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography and named as a *Wall Street Journal* Best Book of 2008 and an *Atlantic Magazine* top book of the year. 'It will not be superseded for generations', wrote the reviewer in the *Daily Telegraph*

In 2008, Bostridge also published *Because You Died*, a selection of Vera Brittain's First World War poetry and prose, to mark the ninetieth anniversary of the Armistice. In May 2009, *Screen Daily* reported that he was working closely with BBC Films on a screen adaptation of Brittain's *Testament of Youth*. In December 2014, Bostridge's study *Vera Brittain and the First World War*, containing new research about *Testament of Youth'*s evolution, and an account of the dramatisations of the book culminating in the new film version starring Alicia Vikander as Vera Brittain and Kit Harington as Roland Leighton, was published by Bloomsbury.

In January 2014, Penguin UK published Bostridge's *The Fateful Year*, a portrait of England in 1914: "a year that started in peace and ended in war". The book was shortlisted for the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize for History in 2015.

In June 2016, Bostridge was one of a group of biographers, historians, and other academics who signed a letter to *The Times* protesting at the erection of a statue to Mary Seacole at St Thomas' Hospital in London. In interviews Bostridge explained that he was not opposed to a statue to Seacole, but to the siting of it at the hospital where Florence Nightingale founded her nurse training school in 1860, influencing the development of nursing throughout the world. Bostridge argues that Seacole was not a "pioneer nurse" as some of the statue campaigners maintain. He also points to the way in which Nightingale's enormous contributions to public health are now commonly and mistakenly attributed to Seacole by a wide range of British institutions that, he says, should "frankly know better".

In an article published in the *Times Literary Supplement* in January 2020, Bostridge, who had introduced a new edition of the diaries of Francis Kilvert revealed that he has recently donated his diary to the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

In 2024 Bloomsbury published his *In Pursuit of Love. The Search for Victor Hugo's Daughter*, an innovative biography-cum-memoir. The *Sunday Times* described the book as 'Gloriously rich and capacious', while the reviewer in the *Daily Telegraph* stated that 'Bostridge...produces something of haunting beauty and stylistic grace'.

He is a brother of the tenor Ian Bostridge. They are the great-grandsons of the Millwall goalkeeper, John "Tiny" Joyce.
