Caitlin Jenson’s kids are all ears. They keep ENT specialist Dr. Gerard O’Halloran busy.

It first started with Brody, who was born with tongue-tie and kept getting ear infections.

His pediatrician, Dr. Todd Amunrud, referred Brody to Dr. O’Halloran, who surgically fixed Brody’s tongue and inserted a series of tubes as he grew.

Then little brother Bennett developed his own string of ear infections. Dr. O’Halloran inserted tubes, but the infections continued. Six months later, Dr. O’Halloran removed Bennett’s adenoids to avert more infections. It worked.

When Isabella started having sleep problems at 18 months, Caitlin turned to Dr. O’Halloran yet again.

“She was cocking her head backward as she slept; he had told us before that this was a sign of adenoid issues,” Caitlin recalls. Dr. O’Halloran suggested Children’s Hospital, but the Jensons stayed put.

“We chose him because he takes closer care of us,” she explains. “He’s always a text or phone call away.”

So Isabella had her adenoids removed at Northfield Hospital, and has slept like a baby ever since.

Andy Rezac “Dr. O’Halloran has educated us really well, so we know what we can take care of at home and when we need to go into the doctor,” Caitlin says.

“We try to get sick kids in quickly,” says Dr. O’Halloran, who trained at Mayo Clinic for medical school and surgery. “If a provider calls, we can usually work patients in that week.”

Caitlin’s advice to other parents? Trust your instincts.

“I was hesitant to stay in Northfield; I was tempted to go to the cities like lots of people do,” Caitlin says. “But I’m so glad that we stayed here, and I’m so happy with Dr. O’Halloran. It’s nice to have someone you trust close to home.”

Total care for all your ENT needs: • Surgery for ears, adenoids, tonsils • Audiology screening • Coordination with pediatricians • Sleep disorders in adults and children (Dr. O’Halloran is board-certified in Sleep Medicine) • Sinus problems in adults and children, including sinus headaches and limited nasal breathing

Avenue Q

Sept. 23-26, 30-Oct. 2, 7-9, 13-16; Th/F/Sa/M 7:30pm, Su 2pm Ames Center, Burnsville Music and Lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Smart, book by Jeff Whitty, directed by Richard William Kopf.

How do you get to Avenue Q? And what do you do once you get there?

This particular street populated by puppets is no neighborhood for kids, but rather a place to learn about the struggles of adulthood – hilariously – through songs like Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist and There’s Life Outside Your Apartment. This Tony Awardwinning Broadway hit is a breakthrough mix of puppetry, satire and earnest life lessons that is definitely NOT for the whole family.

Tickets available at the Ames Center Box Office, 800/982-2787 or ticketmaster.com.

The Philadelphia Story

Sept. 30-Oct. 2, Oct. 7-9; F/Sa 7:30pm, Su 2pm Northfield Arts Guild Theater On the eve of heiress Tracy Lord’s second marriage, a steady stream of visitors, including her ex-husband and the paparazzi, create a most unwelcome guest list. With manners running high, and expectations low, the big question is whether Tracy will make it to the altar at all. In our era of tabloid journalism and growing class-consciousness, Philip Barry’s classic romantic comedy is as potent and incisive as ever. The Philadelphia Story is a fascinating peek into the mixed-up lives of the rich and famous who seemingly “have it all.” Tickets: $17 adults, $12 seniors/students, available at northfieldartsguild.org, 507/645-8877 or at the Northfield Arts Guild office.

AUDITIONS & TECH INTERVIEWS A Christmas Carol

Sept. 13 and 15, 4-6pm, Northfield Arts Guild Theater Presented by Purple Door Youth Theater, an educational theater company for young people grades 2-12. Call the Northfield Arts Guild at 507/645-8877 to schedule a 30-minute appointment. Each session provides full-scale production and theater training. Instructors Rachel Haider, Joe Jorgensen and Helen Dillon teach acting, technical and administrative theater lessons and personal character skills. Through hands-on theater experiences, students will be involved with every aspect of producing the show from designing and building to performing, marketing and ushering. In addition to actors, the company will train students interested in elements such as scenery, lights, costumes and sound. All actors will also be involved in some form of backstage training and work. Those auditioning for an acting role should prepare a one-minute poem or monologue and one verse of a traditional holiday song or Christmas carol of their choosing. Students interested in tech positions (grades 4-12) need not prepare anything in advance. Parents are asked to send along a calendar of conflict dates/times to auditions/interviews.

Rehearsals begin Oct. 13, performances are Dec. 2-4 and 9-11.

A Christmas Carol traces a wondrous journey through Christmas past, present and future. Charles Dickens’ tale of hope and redemption reminds us all what’s really worth celebrating.

The Contented Cow, Northfield Captain Gravitone & The String Theory Orchestra plays Americana folk rock infused with tango, jazz and circus monkeys. The group channels its angst-ridden superhero/philosopher, Captain Gravitone, whose super powers include time travel and gravity manipulation, combined with a relentless philosophical curiosity. With songs like Howl, What’s the Matter with Captain Gravitone?, Warm, Dark, Narcotic American Night and I Want to BE a Philosophy Major, the group takes you on a musical adventure of cosmic proportion. Fun, sometimes moody, with humor, angst and internal reflection – what you might expect if Tom Waits and Frank Zappa started a folk band. Hailing from St. Peter and Mankato, the group features Eli Hoehn on banjo, Jason Helder and Wayne Schmidt on guitars, vocalist Kelly Kroeker, percussionist Damen Price and bassist Kelly Coyle.

The Contented Cow, Northfield Minneapolis-based acoustic folk, blues and country musician Chris Holm returns in support of his debut solo release, The Trains Don’t Run Here Anymore.

Despite his Northern Minnesota roots, he has formed an intimate connection with the music of the American South. Raised on the music of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Flatt & Scruggs, The Beatles and Creedence Clearwater Revival, he eventually dug into the music that inspired those great artists and discovered a deep appreciation for country blues and hillbilly country music.

Jeff White • 11am-2pm

Cannon River Winery, Cannon Falls Alt-country from the hills of western Wisconsin.

Blending warm tones, reverbs, delays and vibrato with an outlaw grit, Jeff White sings of love, loss and lust with an Americana vibe, channeling melancholy country/western and dark folk music from times past. White began honing his songwriting skills working the red-eye shift as a taxi driver. Railroad conductors, heartbroken men and women after bar close and wild out-of-towners were all frequent riders who freely opened up about their personal lives.

Their late night conversations were inspirations towards his career as a songwriter and entertainer. White has toured the lower 48 from coast to coast as well as England, Scotland and Wales. Much in the vein of Johnny Cash, White writes and sings his own songs but also performs unique interpretations of other songs he admires.

He has six albums, one with Charlie Parr and international folk music legend, Greg Brown. His latest CD, Renegade Revelations, received a four-star rating in The Netherlands on the alt-country review website, altcountry.nl.

Valley Grove Churches Historic Site, Nerstrand Traditional music, demonstrations of Nordic arts, live Celtic and Scandinavian music and old-time pleasures on a living prairie are the heart of this annual event.

Hütenänny (1pm under the Valley Grove historic oak), a Northfield-based traditional Nordic music group comprised of fiddles, mandolins, bass, guitar and recorders.

Willow Brae (2:30pm in the wooden 1892 church), a duo consisting of harpist Andrea Stern and wind player Laura MacKenzie, conveys the warm resonance of traditional Irish and Scottish music in a performance of airs, songs, jigs and hornpipes on Celtic harp, wooden flutes, whistles, pipes, concertina and voice.

Woodcarvers in the Norwegian tradition will be on hand from the Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum in Decorah, Iowa, to demonstrate traditional acanthus leaf and other carving skills.

Horseman Bob Mathies and his teams of percherons will give wagon rides over the prairie throughout the day with photogenic views over Valley Grove’s prairie, which adjoins Nerstrand Big Woods State Park.

A variety of ecology experts will highlight plants and wildlife of the restored prairie. There will be a monarch educator and native plant specialist as well as a bluebird educator, both with displays. Valley Grove Preservation Society board members will lead walks on the restored prairie. Children will get a chance to handle chickens or milk a goat from Zieman’s Simple Harvest Farm and try traditional rope making throughout the afternoon. Refreshments will be served. Admission is free, and tax-deductible donations to the Valley Grove Preservation Society are encouraged.

Valley Grove Country Social Sunday, September 18, 1-4 pm Featuring music by

Willow Brae and Hütenänny Old time family pleasures on a living prairie, horse drawn wagon rides, live Celtic and Scandinavian music and songs, and demonstrations of Nordic arts.

Tax-deductible donations to Valley Grove Preservation Society welcome.

Cannon River Winery, Cannon Falls A Twin Cities-based blues and rock band who know how to put a smile on your face by adding a little sass to that Minnesota nice.

Add in the groove of the upright and downright bass by Robb Stearns and the rhythm of Bill Whelan on drums and you have got something to dance to. Harrison Street breathes new life into old blues and re-vamps the roots.

HAPPENINGS Saturday, September 24, continued J Eastman & the Drunk Uncles • 6:30-8:30pm

The Contented Cow, Northfield Stumbling up the stairs of a suburban basement, J Eastman and the Drunk Uncles climbed to the bottom of the Minneapolis indie rock scene in 2015 with a shambolic collection of tunes about alcohol, beers and existential anxiety. The band layers Eastman’s gritty hooks with loud guitars to somehow pump out a bevy of nonchart-topping rave-ups. With standout tracks like Not the Liquor, Josephine and the REM-esque Oh Harry, the music of the Drunk Uncles appeals to loners, drunks and the broken-hearted in equal measure.

Drive South • 7-11pm

Froggy Bottoms River Pub & Lily PADio, Northfield An acoustic trio performing eclectic folk and slices of American music fused from folk, country, rhythm and blues and rock and roll. These honestly sung songs from the heart result in real music for real people. Mark Jeunermann, Mark Hedenstrom and Scott Cummings have been actively involved in the music scene for more than 20 years. With backgrounds rooted in stage, songwriting and recording they look to paint a picture of real people striving for depth, beauty and emotion, creating a tone of genuine heartache and joy that brings about meaning in life. In inclement weather, show moves to 9pm-12:30am inside.

Theater: Harriet the Spy • 7:30pm

HISTORIC

HAPPENINGS

By Susan Hvistendahl

10,000 Greet Eisenhower at Laird Stadium in 1952

kin with “I Like Ike” carved into it in his garden on the outskirts of Owatonna and it was presented to Eisenhower. Mamie Eisenhower told the crowd jovially, “We’ll try to have pumpkin pie for lunch.”

(Young Schwendler became a graduate of the Owatonna High School Class of 1962. Now living in Arizona, he told me his father ran Schwendler Electric Service in town. He remembers his father handing the pumpkin up to a Secret Service man just as the train was ready to leave. He even got a letter of thanks from Eisenhower later. Schwendler retired from Roadway Express in Denver after working for Control Data Corp in Minneapolis and serving in the Army.)

Then it was on to the Rock Island Depot in Faribault. The Faribault Daily News of Sept. 16 reported that Eisenhower was given a “tremendous welcome by some 5,000 persons,” including school children released from classes and a color guard from Shattuck School who presented arms and got a salute from Gen. Eisenhower. After a brief talk on the rear platform, in which Eisenhower encouraged everyone to vote in the November elections, he introduced Mamie who flashed her “famous smile and waved enthusiastically to the crowd.” She accepted a basket of flowers and “seemed very pleased when she and the general were presented with Pak-A-Robes. She stroked her blanket tenderly as she posed for photographers and Ike grinned and made a comment about keeping warm this winter.” (Pak-ARobes, stadium blankets in zippered cases from the Faribault Woolen Mills Co., have been favored gifts for years.)

Since the 2016 election season is in full throttle, this seems like a good time to revisit a historic happening involving a presidential candidate who came by train to Northfield to give a major address to the youth of the nation on Sept. 16, 1952. The largest crowd ever assembled for an event in Northfield stretched Carleton College’s Laird Stadium beyond its 9,000 seat capacity to more than 10,000 in order to accommodate an audience for a speech by Dwight David (Ike) Eisenhower, the popular World War II general and Republican who was running for president against Democrat Adlai Stevenson. Seating spilled out onto the track and the stadium reverberated not with cries of “First and ten, do it again,” but “I Like Ike!” Carleton’s President Laurence (Larry) The train moved on Gould commented, “This to Northfield where a The Carletonian of Sept.

It was part of a 12-state campaign tour with eight major speeches, including his only college address in Northfield. While the speech was heard by farmers, businessmen and other townspeople, there was an emphasis on younger voters. Clifford Stiles, a Carleton senior from Lake Bluff, Illinois, had invited Eisenhower through the Carleton Young Republican Club shortly after Ike’s nomination in Chicago. (See sidebar story.) Besides St. Olaf and Carleton, 14 other colleges from around the state sent car caravans and busloads of students.

Earlier that day, Eisenhower had made a brief stop in Albert Lea where an estimated 3,000 people greeted his 18-car special campaign train carrying the general, his wife Mamie, advisers and media people. The “whistle stop” continued to Owatonna. There Eisenhower spoke a few minutes on a rear train platform about his enthusiastic support for farm co-operatives in order to save the family farm and agriculture. Eight-year-old Crawford Schwendler, Jr., from Washington Elementary School had grown a giant pump-

of Carleton, President Clemens Granskou of St. Olaf, Republican leaders and other dignitaries met the party at the Milwaukee train depot. Mamie again was given flowers. A red Cadillac convertible was waiting to take the Eisenhowers across the 3rd Street Bridge and north down Division Street to Carleton’s Laird Stadium. Most businesses in town had closed in the morning so all could go to the event. The Carletonian newspaper reported on Sept. 20: “Students, faculty and Republican-minded citizens of Minnesota flocked into Laird Stadium, joining the colorful and exhilarated throng. Bands representative of the various area high schools performed on the field as cheerleaders from Carleton and Macalester and three St. Olaf trumpeters led the crowd in an ‘I Like Ike’ cheer.” The bands came from Cannon Falls, Faribault, Farmington, Hastings and Northfield and the Northfield Male Chorus entertained. The Faribault band presented some tricky formations, played It’s A Great Day and spelled out I-K-E on the field. Carleton freshmen sold campaign buttons, ties, banners and hats to cover rally expenses and St. Olaf and Carleton lettermen ran refreshment booths. The Carleton football team attended as a group in full gridiron uniform.

The media crowded around the dais set up for a speaker’s stand on the 50-yard line of the football field and the radio broadcast of the speech was carried over WCCO in Minneapolis, WCAL of St. Olaf, KARL of Carleton and KDHL of Faribault. It was also kinescoped over CBS-TV for later broadcast. Stiles told me that “just before Eisenhower arrived, the entire microphone and loud speaker system went down. There was a connection at the foot of the speaker’s platform that someone had kicked accidentally, and nothing worked. We found the loose connection, plugged it back in, and disaster was averted.”

Carleton President Gould, serving as master of ceremonies, held his arms aloft, pleading with the crowd to quiet down “so the proceedings could begin and schedules be maintained,” according to the Northfield Independent account of Sept. 18. “The crowd responded, as could be expected of intelligent youth.” Eisenhower was introduced by the U.S. Senator from Northfield, Edward J. Thye. Governor C. Elmer Anderson and other important political figures were on the platform. Joining St. Olaf and Carleton students in the audience were representatives from Augsburg, Concordia, Gustavus Adolphus, Hamline, Macalester, Mankato State Teachers’, St. Catherine, St. Cloud Teachers’, St. John’s, St. Thomas, Duluth University, Winona State Teachers’ and Worthington Junior College. One hundred cars came from the University of Minnesota alone. Fifteen high schools were represented.

Between them are St. Olaf President Clemens Granskou and Northfield Mayor O.S. Jackson.

Eisenhower opened his speech with the words, “My very good friends, and you must be my friends, otherwise I don’t see how both St. Olaf and Carleton could have turned out here together,” provoking laughter in the stadium. He reminded the crowd that he was a college president, too, the head of New York’s Columbia University, although currently on leave. He joked, “You people will determine on next Nov. 4 whether my leave will be permanent.”

Eisenhower went on to stress that moral values must rule American foreign policies. He compared the American and Communist ways and said, “If you can by co-operation show that you can outdo, outthink, outwork and outlearn any dictatorship that has ever existed no matter what its force, you will have done your part.”

Eisenhower praised the role of small colleges in preserving “the values that have made our country great and which in turn we must apply if we are going to lead the world toward peace, security and prosperity.” He called small colleges “one of the greatest symbols of a free America.” The Northfield News of Sept. 18 noted that the “wild cheers” at the end of his talk moved him to remark, “This is the dandiest meeting I’ve had in a long time.”

After the speech, the Carletonian quoted a St. Olaf letterman as saying, “Eisenhower displayed great foresight in coming to speak to us college students. His interest in the youth vote is shown through this part of the campaign.” One St. Olaf student, however, said, “We can’t take a chance on a Republican candidate now” and five men from Rosemount said they did not like his policies and claimed, “He does a lot of talking without saying much.” An Augsburg student said, “It’s wonderful that the colleges have the opportunity to get together and hear Ike. He is the only one who can bring us through, considering present world circumstances, for he is the best.” (Eisenhower’s popularity can be seen in a later presidential poll of Carleton students which showed Eisenhower was favored by 75.9 per cent of the vote to Adlai Stevenson’s 24.1 per cent.)

A crowd of 10,000 greeted General Eisenhower (shown at the microphones to the right next to the flag) at Carleton College’s Laird Stadium on Sept. 16, 1952. He gave a major address aimed at the youth of America and won his first presidential election on Nov. 4.

The gathering remains the largest in town history, rivaled only by the Sept. 17, 1977, metric football game between Carleton and St. Olaf at Laird Stadium which attracted 9,000 fans.

Just before the caravan of cars left to take the Eisenhowers back to the depot, the Sept. 18 Northfield News account said that “swarms of people” gathered around the convertible to shake hands with both Ike and Mamie and get autographs. The Faribault Daily News of Sept. 17, 1952, wrote, “A college age youth ran alongside the car to hand the Eisenhowers two napkin-wrapped hot dogs which the students had been selling from the stands on the grounds.” There was another report that someone tossed a popsicle into the convertible (and Mamie ate it, as it was close to the lunch hour).

Clifford Stiles on Ike’s 1952 Speech Clifford Stiles (Carleton College Class of 1953) really liked Ike in 1952. In a recent telephone conversation, Stiles told me how he pulled off the largest gathering in Northfield history to hear “Ike” Eisenhower speak at Laird Stadium. Stiles was head of the Young Republicans at Carleton College and had connections.

Like Harold Stassen, who had been governor of Minnesota from 1939 to 1943 and had spoken to 1,100 at Sayles-Hill Gymnasium on March 14. Like Walter Judd, who was serving in the House of Representatives for Minnesota’s fifth district and had given a “stem-winder” of a speech at a packed Great Hall on April 17. Like Northfield’s own Edward Thye, Minnesota’s U.S. Senator from 1947 to 1959, who had been Minnesota’s governor from 1943 to 1947. And like P. Kenneth Peterson, chairman of the Minnesota Republican Party.

So when Dwight David Eisenhower became the Republican candidate for president in Chicago in July after Stiles’ junior Clifford Stiles, Carleton Class of 1953. year, Stiles phoned and Courtesy Carleton College Archives wrote to his contacts from his summer job at Grand View Lodge on Gull Lake in Nisswa, Minn., with his suggestion that Eisenhower should come to Carleton and “make a national appeal to the youth of the nation.”

Stiles said Eisenhower was planning his campaign strategy in Denver, so Stiles’ “plot” was to have each man individually present the great idea for a speech in Carleton’s large stadium which had never been filled before. When the idea was accepted, Stiles headed for the Twin Cities to make plans. Of course, first he had to get the okay from Carleton’s President Laurence (Larry) Gould, but that was no problem. Gould had attended the Republican National Convention as a Minnesota alternate delegate.

Stiles told me that he had engaged a fleet of convertibles to transport the Eisenhowers and dignitaries from the Northfield train by ten feet. Sadly, when we held it up in the stadium, we blocked several peoples’ view of the proceedings. One of the security people came to us and brought us down to the track where we could lift it without blocking anyone’s view. After Ike finished his talk, the same security fellow brought us over to Ike and he signed our sheet right after he sat down in the back seat of the convertible. I have hunted high and low for that autograph without any success and I now believe it got thrown out by someone way back in the fifties.”

The Northfield News of Sept. 18 reported, “A genuinely warm and human American with his charming wife gave Northfield a day that will long be remembered.” Ike and Mamie Eisenhower

station to Laird Stadium. Gould had planned to take the short ride with the couple but Eisenhower said, “No, Mamie and I will ride alone,” which Gould considered an insult, according to Stiles.

Later Eisenhower apologized to Gould, saying, “I don’t want to set a precedent for when we campaign in Wisconsin.” Eisenhower did not want to have to ride with Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy whose anti-communist witch hunt rhetoric was widely criticized and led to his being formally censured in 1954.

Stiles said that the Eisenhower public relations people feared they had “made an awful goof ” when they did not see crowds at first. But as the red convertible carrying the Eisenhowers drove into sight of the thousands at the stadium, a roar broke out as cheerleaders led “I Like Ike” cheers.

Mamie Eisenhower later told Rep. Walter Judd that the appearance at Carleton College was “one of the most impressive highlights of the entire campaign.”

Stiles

Stiles now lives in Foley, Minnesota, with his wife, Carol, where he was in family practice as a physician for 50 years. Two of their four children went to Carleton: T.J. Stiles, Class of 1986 and Karen Stiles, Class of 1990.

T.J. Stiles has won two Pulitzer Prizes, in 2010 for his biography of Cornelius Vanderbilt and this year for his history of George Armstrong Custer. In 2003, T.J. Stiles published Jesse James: Last Rebel of the Civil War which is available at the Northfield Historical Society.

Clifford Stiles told me his “only claim to fame” from his years at Carleton is masterminding Eisenhower’s 1952 speech at Laird Stadium. I would say that he carried off a very impressive historic happening.

“captured the hearts of many Northfielders. Ike got in his licks with a firm handshake, an inspiring look and a sincere interest in the people he came in contact with. His wife Mamie charmed as many with her sweet smile and warm ‘hellos.’”

William Howard Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have also visited Northfield, but even Clinton, who gave a commencement address at Carleton when he was president in 2000, did not speak to a crowd as large as the one proclaiming “I Like Ike!” at Laird Stadium in 1952.
