    History prof reads Gettysburg Address by Waverly Civil War veteran's graveside

    In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, Wartburg College history professor Terrence Lindell reads Lincoln's inspirational 272-word speech by the grave of Edward Tyrrell, a lieutenant who was killed at Vicksburg on May 22, 1863 in an assault on Confederate defenses.Tyrrell, who enlisted as a volunteer in Co. G, Ninth Iowa Infantry in 1861, was the only officer from Bremer County, Iowa, to die on in combat during the Civil War. His remains were initially buried at Vicksburg, but after the war his sergeant and a friend of his, Floyd Foster, brought them to Waverly where he rests in peace at Harlington Cemetery.Lincoln's most eloquent speech was delivered on Nov. 19 1863, at the dedication of Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, PA., where the casualties of the July 1863 battle of Gettysburg were buried.

    A difficult dialogue: CBS workers lobby supervisors not to fire boss

    by ANELIA K. DIMITROVAThe Bremer County Board of Supervisors on Monday put on hold a decision regarding the fate of the executive director of the county-owned home health agency.In a highly charged, and at times personal 90-minute dialogue with a group of nurses, who had come to defend their boss, the supervisors directed Chair Tim Neil to meet with Jamie Barnett, the embattled CBS leader who was put on paid administrative leave last Wednesday. (WATCH THE VIDEO)In its initial form, a motion, made by Supervisor Duane Hildebrandt, called for Neil to discuss only one option -- to appoint Barnett as a director of nursing, should she be agreeable to that -- but after a lengthy discussion, the supervisors voted that motion down and settled for an "all options" scenario.On Oct. 30, Barnett was suspended with pay and her finance manager, Derek Erlemeier, was terminated during a meeting of the board. Erlemeier was escorted by two sheriff's deputies and the sheriff to the CBS building at 403 Third St. SE, where he was asked to clean his office.
