HAPPENINGS Friday, January 9, continued Furia • 7:30pm

Paradise Center for the Arts, Faribault An ensemble of innovative musicians including Northfield’s Meredith Fierke (vocals, guitars and banjo), Steve McKinstry (B3 and pump organ) and Schuyler Petersen (mandola, guitar and banjo), Cities 97 Sampler Volume Number 21 artists. “Fierke falls somewhere in the space between songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, and Cat Power” – City Pages.

FROM SURGERY TO REHABILITATION, WE OFFER YOU THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE When Pat Hanauer shattered her ankle, she quickly chose Northfield Hospital & Clinics.

An avid hiker, who likes to tackle tough terrain, Pat saw the irony in breaking her ankle going down two steps at her Farmington home. After the fall, Pat quickly picked the ED at Northfield Hospital. “After my husband had an accident last year, we discovered how good and convenient Northfield Hospital & Clinics is. It’s a much easier and faster drive, the ED is well staffed and prompt and they treat people well there.”

Pat’s surgery, her pre- and post-op care, and two rounds of physical therapy were seamlessly coordinated to get Pat back on the mountains she loves.

“Thank goodness there’s a FamilyHealth clinic in Farmington for

pre- and post-op checkups.” And when Pat was ready for physical therapy, “the Center for Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation - Lakeville was right next door, about 15 minutes from my home. It was perfect.”

Pat was back on the hiking trail in eight months. She has since hiked Yellowstone, the Canadian Rockies and the North Shore.

Maggie basked in the attention.

Another obvious choice for inclusion in the book was “Unforgettable Sid Freeman” from February of 2013. Sid Freeman, native of Cannon Falls, made his fortune with a chain of men’s clothing shops called the Hub which started in Northfield and with formal wear rentals called Skeffington’s which had 23 stores in its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. Sid hobnobbed with celebrities in the fields of entertainment, sports and politics and was instrumental in bringing professional baseball and football to Minnesota. In truth, one reason I wrote this story was because I wanted to also include Sid’s son, Dan Freeman, who had such a presence in Northfield that he was called “Mr. Northfield.” When I interviewed Dan about his father, he said that he could get more photos of his father for the story if I waited until summer when he could get them from storage. But I could tell Dan was in failing health and his time was running out.

Dan wore a variety of hats (sometimes literally), including running Freeman’s Formal Wear from his home and driving for EcoTrans. He acted in more than 70 stage productions throughout Southern Minnesota. He was a familiar sight as narrator of the bank raid re-enactments on Division Street during Defeat of Jesse James Days and a familiar voice on KYMN radio for more than 40 years, ending up as host of a Sunday morning program.

A true raconteur, Dan reveled in regaling newcomers with stories of his beloved hometown of Northfield and in reminiscing with old-timers.

Dan told me that from an early age he was inspired by his parents to find ways to “give back to the community that gave me so much.” In 2005, he stepped up to be coordinator of North-

field’s Sesquicentennial activities. He also took it upon himself to get funding (with metaphoric hat in hand) for Northfield’s annual 4th of July fireworks display (around $10,000), using what Rob Schanilec calls his “incredible charisma and connections” to do so, year after year.

On Jan. 25, 2013, a tribute and benefit for Dan called “Stepping Out for Mr. Northfield” was held at the Grand Event Center, both to honor him and ease his financial concerns. Afterwards, he told me, “It’s one of the great things about Northfield, the way we look after each other.”

Unfortunately, Dan passed away just months later, on May 6, 2013. After a funeral reception, a group of his friends gathered at the Rueb ‘n’ Stein (which Dan had been proprietor of from 1975 to 1983), wondering how they might keep Dan’s legacy alive, especially in regard to fireworks. From that and many conversations which followed, the Freeman Fireworks Endowment Fund was established with the aim of generating funds to provide fireworks on the Fourth of July for Northfield in perpetuity. More can be found at fireworks55057.org.

“You’re listening to the new sound in town, KYMN radio. Let’s boogie!” This was the opening of the Sept. 2008 story, “Wayne Eddy Recounts 40 Years of KYMN,” and these were Wayne’s words as the strains of Up, Up and Away, sung by the Fifth Dimension, soared out over the air waves on Sept. 27, 1968. Of course, no way could I leave out Wayne from my book. The story details the St. Paul native’s rise from WTMB radio in Toma, Wisconsin, through radio and TV work at KAUS in Austin, Minn., to KYMN (1080 on your AM dial) where he still master-

fully conducts his show, The Wayne Eddy Affair, interviewing an array of people each weekday morning. It is no wonder that, in 2007, Wayne was inducted into the Minnesota Museum of Broadcasting’s Hall of Fame. Wayne, one of the founders of the Northfield Historical Society, has quite a legacy with the Defeat of Jesse James Days, too, as you can read in the book – including the reason he rode in the parade one year with a small fire extinguisher attached to his saddle.

August of 2014 marked Wayne’s 50th year in broadcasting and he was honored with an open house at the Grand Event Center on Sept. 13. The tables were turned when KYMN station owner Jeff Johnson did a series of interviews with Wayne on Wayne’s own show. Wayne has now conducted more than 1,000 interviews for the Wayne Eddy Affair since April of 2006, an accomplishment of inestimable historic value. Many are accessible at the Northfield Historical Society and kymnradio.net. He has also been the subject of a videotaped NHS oral history.

“Laura MacKenzie: Celtic Music Wizard” appeared in June of 2013, in our annual June music issue. The first sentence declared that “You cannot be much more of a ‘townie’ than Laura MacKenzie, even though she left Northfield for a while before returning in 2011 to live on the same street where she grew up.”

Her paternal grandfather was the only Northfield mayor elected to three successive terms, her maternal grandfather was a distinguished Carleton College English professor and her parents ran a well-known Northfield gift shop on Division Street called MacKenzie’s for more than 25 years. Laura’s story includes her musical experiences at Northfield High School, her introduction to Scottish music in Edinburgh during college and her varied career as a performer on various wind instruments and as promoter of Celtic music.

In the fall of 2013, Laura performed in the world premiere of a play about the immigrant experience, Steerage Song, which was produced by Theater Latté Da in Minneapolis. She also toured Minnesota with the company this past November. Shortly thereafter, Laura was honored by the Irish and Music Dance

Association at The Celtic Junction in St. Paul, with the City of St. Paul and mayor Chris Coleman declaring Nov. 22, 2014, as “Laura MacKenzie Day” in St. Paul by proclamation.

Also in 2014, Laura’s latest CD, From Uig to Duluth, was launched in Northfield, Duluth and Minneapolis. The CD is a collection of traditional Scots Gaelic music and song with a special connection to Scottish heritage in Minnesota. This past holiday season, Laura was a member of the ensemble of SimpleGifts with Billy McLaughlin. The Traditional Irish Music Sessions which she initiated in Northfield continue on Wednesdays, 7-9 pm, at the Corner Room of the Rueb ‘n’ Stein, open to both musicians and listeners. Laura’s website is lauramackenzie.com.

Other people featured in the book are Laura Baker, who moved her school for what were then called “nervous and backward children” from Minneapolis to Northfield in 1898 and whose legacy is preserved in the Laura Baker Services Association; Yosh Murakami, the beloved vocal teacher in Northfield schools; and three residents who were the Jeopardy!

answer to the question, “Who are Northfield’s Quiz Show Aces?”– Hillemann, Crippen and Soule.

The book also contains stories about early merchant Hiram Scriver and John North, who founded Northfield in 1855. I wrote about North’s ties to Abraham Lincoln and the Lyceum he established where settlers could seek “intellectual improvement” through a reading room, library and debate on issues of the day. North inserted a clause into every deed of land that “No intoxicating drinks shall be sold or in any manner furnished as a beverage on said premises” and I included a story of how ax-wielding settlers promoted temperance in 1858.

Also included are stories on the Archer House (which opened in 1877) and the 1899 openings of the Ware Auditorium (now the Grand Event Center) and Odd Fellows building (at the site of Three Links today). There is a recounting of the day General Dwight D. Eisenhower gave a speech before 10,000 in Laird Stadium in 1952, just before he was elected president, of the tragic day in 1915 when lions attacked their trainer during a carnival,

the 1997 Northfield Raiders’ state football championship season and the beloved popcorn wagon brought to Bridge Square by Vera Johansen in 1979. And, of course, I had to include the infamous day of “Robbery & Murder!” on Sept. 7, 1876, when the James-Younger Gang tried to rob First National Bank but met its match, along with a story about the 1981 filming of In Search of Jesse James in Northfield.

When I do the book presentation and book signing at the Northfield Historical Society (408 Division St.) at 6:30 pm on Thursday, Jan. 15, I have a special treat in store for those who come. A few weeks before Christmas, what to my wondering eyes did appear in Econofoods but a display rack filled with Chicago Mix popped corn, from “G.H. Cretors, Since 1885,” with a picture on all the packages of a popcorn wagon very much like our 1918 wagon. And, indeed, our popcorn wagon was made by a Cretors family company. I loaded up my car trunk with packages of this “buttery caramel corn & rich cheddar cheese corn, two favorites in every handful,” and if I don’t go through them all myself by mid-January, I will share them with you!

At the Jan. 15 presentation and book signing of Historic Happenings at the Northfield Historical Society at 6:30 pm, those in attendance can sample Cretor’s Chicago Mix, made by the Chicago family that manufactured Northfield’s iconic 1918 popcorn wagon. Vera Johansen brought the wagon to Northfield in 1979.
