150 years of the Northfield News: A community's history in print

The Northfield News wasn't always the Northfield News . In fact, it wasn't even from Northfield. Originally called the Dundas News , the publication moved to Northfield three years later, beginning a 150-year history of mergers, changing ownership, technological advancements and the occasional brush with national history. Along the way, the newspaper documented everything from the end of the Spanish-American War to the everyday happenings of a growing Minnesota town. From Dundas to Northfield Henry E. Lawrence established the Dundas News , which was first published Nov. 4, 1876, just two months after the James-Younger Gang’s historic bank raid. Lawrence published the newspaper in Dundas for approximately three years before moving his printing operation to Northfield in 1879, where the publication became known as the Northfield News . It was hardly the only newspaper in the area. The Rice County Journal , founded in 1872 by Charles Augustus Wheaton, was among several competing publications serving Northfield during the late 19th century. Others included the Northfield Independent , the Northfield Ledger and the Dundas Enterprise . In 1884, the Dundas News and Rice County Journal consolidated to form the Northfield News. The newspaper's early history was marked by changing ownership, competing

Mayo Stage Door raves about Chicago

From November 19th through the 22nd, Mayo Stage Door will present “Chicago Teen Edition,” directed by Mrs. Amy Monson, with assistant directors Jennifer Humke, Aaron Cole, Troy Kowalski, and Megan Shelley. The production is filled with murder, jazz, and a surprising amount of whimsy. The company is working hard to make sure that lights are in place, costumes are on point, and voices are in tune. Most people assume that theater just comes together eventually, with classic sayings like “the show must go on,” but student leaders working behind the curtain know that there’s a lot more work to be done than what meets the eye.

Watch introspective new play, “Squirrel is Alive”

I urge all to see the new play adapted by Judy Myers from the book, “Squirrel is Alive,” about the tribulations of a young Belgian woman who courageously used her willpower to outwit the Nazis in World War II and work for the resistance. The tale shows how one person can attempt to right the wrongs occurring around her, despite the dangers she encounters. The story is augmented with projections of family pictures, period music, and other historic events, including Eisenhower’s D-Day talk to the soldiers. These backdrops help the audience imagine life in those times, along with the horrors and sounds of war. Squirrel’s 1940s story is the real tale of a woman who ended up in Southeastern Minnesota. The play connects the need to take a stand against our modern atrocities and should make one think about how we can take action in our times. We are also lucky to have the premiere of this play in Winona. Kudos to Judy Myers for this introspective work.
