Cat’s Cradle

Paradise Radio Mystery Theater

Oct. 9-11, 16-18, F/Sa 7:30pm, Su 2pm Little Theatre of Owatonna

Written by Leslie Sands, directed by Jon Terrill, tech directed by Mary Butler Fraser. Presented in special arrangement by Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York. The action takes place at “The Cresswell Arms,” an old coaching-house in a remote English village. Many years before, a kidnapping (and perhaps murder) took place in the town, but the policeman assigned to the case by Scotland Yard, Inspector Frost, failed to solve the crime. He has returned to try again, only to find that he has become a very unwelcome guest. As he reopens his investigation, he encounters suspicion and even hostility, as it becomes increasingly clear that he is facing a conspiracy of silence and the wish of the townspeople to leave the past shrouded in mystery. But Frost presses on, with results that are both startling and disquieting, and which lead to a surprise ending in which justice is indeed served after all – but in a manner more ironic and severe than any formal court of law could mete out. Tickets: $17 adults, $14 students, available at 507-451-0764, at the box office, or at littletheatreofowatonna.org. LTO will be following the State of MN guidelines of required facial coverings and physical distancing, and temperatures will be taken upon arrival.

Oct. 23-25, 29-31, Th-Sa 7:30pm, Su 2pm presented online by Paradise Center for the Arts

The Paradise Radio Mystery Theater will present a quartet of tales of mystery, mayhem, murder and yes, even ghosts, in time to usher in the Halloween season. Cost: $16 members, $18 nonmembers, $12 students, $20 per household. Tickets and info at paradisecenterforthearts.org/ paradise-community-theater.

Book Reviews HERE WE ARE by Graham Swift There’s a special place in my heart for perfectly rendered novels under 200 pages, and Here We Are will be added to my list of all-time favorites. It’s an atmospheric love story set in a tourist town on the southern coast of Britain in the summer of 1959, where the players in a sweet-but-heart-wrenching triangle are a magician, his lovely assistant and the impresario who makes them both celebrities for a short but brilliant time. Swift illuminates each character beautifully until his reader adores them all just as their seaside audiences do, and effortlessly weaves their story into an insightful reflection on memory, absence and the mysteries of perception. – Jessica Peterson White

WORLD OF WONDERS by Aimee Nezhukumatathil Filled with short, beautifully written essays about the natural world and accompanied by gorgeous illustrations, World of Wonders is the book you need to read right now! I was awestruck at Aimee’s wonderful way with words and the wonders she reveals throughout this book about the natural world. Aimee’s essays cover creatures from fireflies to flamingos and plants from pretty to putrid. They span in time from her childhood to the present and crisscross the world from Ohio to India. She writes about growing up, marriage, motherhood and how the natural world has grounded her no matter what stage of life she’s in. I learned so much reading this book and found such delight in it that I read parts of it aloud to friends. World of Wonders is like Ross Gay’s The Book of Delights (a Content bookseller favorite from last year) for the natural world. I didn’t want it to end and know I will read it again and again. – Myrna Mibus LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND by Rumaan Alam Okay, I get it – no one wants to read an apocalyptic novel right now. But you really should make an exception for Leave the World Behind. When the owners of their vacation rental show up, claiming that a major blackout has hit New York City, Amanda and Clay have to decide whether or not to trust them – and it’s impossible for them to find out what’s really going on. Rumaan Alam has created something wholly unique – a disaster novel in which the characters still think about doing laundry and maybe taking a swim, because what else are you supposed to do while waiting for the world to end? The endless succession of bizarre events makes the book read like a sci-fi thriller, but it is always tethered by the characters, who are beautifully realized and rendered. Frequently, people use fiction as a means of escape – I think that’s what a lot of us have been doing for most of this year. But to me, fiction is only worthwhile if it shows us something real and tangible. And with Leave the World Behind, Alam is showing us something we really need to see: ourselves. Scared, lonely and trying to figure out how to get from one moment to the next. – Sylvie Weissman

Local Real Estate FALL HOME PREPARATIONS FOR WINTER by Sonja Ziemann

1. Set up an annual inspection on your furnace and gas fireplace each fall to help prevent unexpected breakdowns and frozen pipes during the worst of the winter months. 2. Unhook any hoses and drain any outdoor faucets so they do not freeze. Be sure to drain the hoses, too, and store them inside your garage or shed.

s you enjoy the beauty of the fall leaves, and as the last of the warmer days turns to crisp cooler air, please do not forget to do a few things inside and outside your home to prepare for winter.

3. Check doors and windows for air leaks. Taking a few minutes in the fall to check weather stripping and wrapping plastic around any leaky windows could save you hundreds of dollars on your energy bills during the cold months. 4. If you have a sprinkler system in your yard, drain it completely and prepare it for winter.

HISTORIC HAPPENINGS By Susan Hvistendahl Column originally published in the November 2008 Guide. More Historic Happenings available at entertainmentguidemn.com

Drop Back Ten Meters and Punt: The 1977 Metric Football Game “Dad, why doesn’t Carleton play metric football?” That question, from Carleton chemistry professor Jerry Mohrig’s teenage son David, sparked a very special and unique “Historic Happening, Northfield Style,” on Sept. 17, 1977: The very first (and last) NCAA-sanctioned metric football game between Carleton and St. Olaf at Carleton’s Laird Stadium. A crowd of more than 9,000 spectators filled Laird Stadium, the largest gathering since Dwight David Eisenhower appeared there during his 1952 presidential campaign. “Cheer liters” led cheers and students carried meter sticks, while wearing T-shirts which proclaimed, “Drop back ten meters and punt.” Special half-time guests included General Ulysses S. Gram, skier Jean-Claude Kilo and baseball legend Harmon Kilogram. The event was covered by national news media (see sidebar online). Although St. Olaf won the game, 43-0, the big story was not the outcome but how such a ground-breaking game came about in the first place. In October of 2008, a panel assembled by the Northfield Historical Society got together to talk about the one and only Liter Bowl. Participants were Jerry Mohrig, instigator of the game; Jack Thurnblad, director of men’s athletics at Carleton from 1960-89; Tom Porter, St. Olaf football coach from 1958-91; Bob Phelps, St. Olaf information director from 196984; and Dan Freeman, who announced the game for KYMN radio and who served as moderator for the discussion.

himself standing in line next to men’s athletic director Jack Thurnblad during commencement ceremonies in June of 1977, he ran the idea past Thurnblad. Thurnblad told the panel, “I could hardly sleep that night thinking about the ramifications and for me, I couldn’t think of anything negative. It was kind of a win-win situation from the get-go.” Mohrig sent Thurnblad a memo about it, with a copy to Carleton’s acting president Harriet Sheridan. She sent a note to Thurnblad which read, “Jack, make it happen.” Since Carleton was in the Midwest Conference at that time and St. Olaf was in the MIAC, St. Olaf was the logical opponent for such a game as it would not count in league standings. Thurnblad said he is forever indebted to St. Olaf coach Tom Porter who could have said no. But “gentleman that he is and sportsman that he is, he agreed to the challenge.” The NCAA did not give an immediate reply to the request for sanction for the game. The main concern, said Thurnblad, was “that the metric statistics of the game would be converted to our uniform way of compiling statistics.” Porter noted that there was a possibility of having a kickoff or punt return of 110 meters, which would mean “exceeding records that were in the books of the regular 100-yard field.” Nevertheless, the NCAA ended up sanctioning the game. The field had to be realigned with metric markings. The program handed out at the game gave the dimensions of the field: 50 meters wide (54.68 yards) and 100 meters long (109.36 yards) with end zones 10 meters deep (10.94 yards). Player heights were given in centimeters and their weights in kilograms. First and ten meter drives meant first and almost 11 yards for a first down. Before the game, Porter speculated that the kicking game might become more important on a longer field since you might get the first down less often and have to kick Jerry Mohrig (center) instigated the 1977 Liter Bowl at Carleton’s Laird Stadium and displayed his Meterman T-shirt that he wore for the famous game at a 2008 Liter Bowl presentation.

Mohrig explained how his son David, an avid reader of Sports Illustrated, had read an item about how sports such as swimming and track were going metric and perhaps a metric football game should be tried. David asked his father why not Carleton? And the seed was planted. When Jerry Mohrig found

Liter Bowl panel participants were (left to right): Tom Porter, head football coach at St. Olaf, 1958-91; Bob Phelps, information director at St. Olaf, 1969-84; Dan Freeman, KYMN announcer of the game; Jack Thurnblad, director of men’s athletics at Carleton, 1960-89; and Jerry Mohrig, Carleton chemistry professor for 36 years who instigated the game. more. During the panel discussion, Porter said, “There was a little more space for the kicking game or the wide game, whether for passing or running. But once you’re on the field and you have the ball, you really didn’t realize any difference between the dimensions of the game” and “the markings were incidental.” Porter did recall “tongue-in-cheek” joshing with the officials before the game that “You probably will earn your paycheck a little bit more today since you’re going to have to run a few yards more.” He noted that the officials were all enthusiastic about being part of this unusual occasion. Thurnblad said, “The students just went bananas over it.” Mohrig added, “It’s the only time I can remember in my 36 years at Carleton that students had bonfires before the game. They were really into this.” Mohrig was given a “Meterman” T-shirt and Carleton’s president a “Fearless Liter” T-shirt. A Carleton player said of his Ole opponents, “They’re no different than we are. They put their pants on one meter at a time.” On a 25-degree Celsius day (78 Fahrenheit), David Dye, chairman of the Minnesota Metric Commission, threw out a ceremonial first pass. A Carleton player dropped the pass and Carleton lost the coin toss, a sign of things to come. St.

Olaf won the game 43-0, led by 86-kilogram running back Tom Fiebiger’s 70 meters (77 yards). The Oles had 302 meters rushing (330 yards) and 91 meters (99 yards) in the air. Carleton had 106 meters (116 yards), all passing, with zero meters on the ground. As the score mounted, Carleton’s head coach Dale Quist said, “Every meter seemed like a mile to us.” And Carleton’s new president, Bob Edwards, told Mohrig, “De-emphasis of athletics is one thing, but this is ridiculous.” All panel participants agreed the game was a unique and fun occasion, a collaboration and sharing of resources that brought the two colleges and the town together, strengthening them all as a result. Carleton publicist George Dehne told the Carletonian school paper that an important benefit of the publicity that resulted was “the increased pride that the entire student body feels in having enough ingenuity to attract national attention.” This would induce “a more cohesive and spirited student body” and provide a “more vibrant atmosphere on campus for all to enjoy.” Read the rest of the story on our website at entertainmentguidemn.com/77-metric-football-game
