Dr. Tom Witt named Citizen of the Year

By Alicia Hunt-Welch
RED WING Doctor Tom Witt
was honored as the Goodhue
County Citizen of the Year at a
presentation on January 7 at the
new hospital in Cannon Falls. Witt
is a family medicine physician
currently serving as president and
chief executive officer of Mayo
Clinic Health System in Cannon
Falls, Lake City, and Red Wing.
He is responsible for the overall
strategic direction of the three organizations and a key player in
the expansion of MCHS in
Goodhue County.
Each year the Goodhue County
Newspaper Association, a group
of independent publishers of newspapers in the area, convene to select a Goodhue County Citizen of
the Year. The process is predominantly guided by news stories or
major projects of the year and individuals associated with those
events. In 2014, the expansion of
the Mayo Clinic Health Systems
through the county was newsworthy. Witt has been involved in
various aspects of Mayos expansion in the surrounding communities, including the new threelevel, $28 million hospital on the
hill east of the new Cannon Falls
interchange. The facility opened
in August 2014 with 24-hour emergency care, fifteen hospital beds,
and five emergency treatment bays.
Upon receiving the honor Witt
said, The only thing I worry about
with things like this is that theyre
usually an indication of youre
getting older or at the end of your
career. And I dont have any intention of slowing down soon.
On a serious note Witt added, I
really appreciate this. Its been a
great journey, certainly here in
Cannon Falls and the rest of
Goodhue County. Weve got a lot
of work to do yet.
Bill Priest, the hospitals operations administrator in Cannon
Falls, has worked with Witt for
five years. Priest was appreciative of Witts efforts, saying, We
are very fortunate to have him
here.
Witt said, I cant say enough
about the team I work with. Bill
Priest, my other admin position
partnerWe have a great front
line staff. Its been a pleasure to
work with everyone and I look
forward to everything he can accomplish.
The honoree was told he was
attending a health care meeting,
hence he was surprised to descend
the stairs to the hospital caf and
see his family, colleagues, members of the Cannon Falls board,
and news cameras.
As a doctor Witt said he feels
most fortunate for all the patients
and families he has come in contact with during his career. In addition he has found it exciting to
see the communities coming together to accomplish a common

goal. Were all proud of our own

communities and what weve accomplished over the years, but I
think in this day and age of limited resources and the challenges
we have, the collaboration I see is
what I value a lot, he said.
Many changes have occurred
since Witt began his career in Red
Wing in 1986. The one challenge
there is the amount of clerical work
we are asking physicians to do
around patient care, he said. This
makes physicians much more dependent on a team of people around
them.
Despite the clerical overload,
The biggest thing is trying to
maintain focus on who it is that is
important in each interaction you
have, and that is the patient in front
of you, Witt said.
In the future, Witt foresees a
change in how medical professionals work within communities and
how they deliver care. There arent
enough doctors to provide one on
one care as in the past, as the overall pool of physicians is shrinking. Witt hopes people will adapt,
and trust that a team of professionals will effectively address
patients needs. Regardless of a
shortage of physicians, Witt believed this region has a huge advantage, due to the access of medical professionals between Rochester and the Twin Cities.
Witt noted that an interesting
paradox is serving an older generation that is comfortable with
one primary care provider, and a
younger generation that is able to
search online to find out what they
have before going to the hospital
and see no need for a primary physician.
According to Witt, physician
assistants and medical professionals staffing clinics in rural areas is
an extension of care that we will
see more of. He said, We have
great service, great technology,
but does it need to be every 15
miles away? PAs or MPs with a
good working relationship with
more skilled professionals can
provide effective care in rural clinics.
With a rural aging demographic
that needs to be cared for, Witt
said the key will be how to effectively care for them. Home care
nurses and other medical professionals providing care for people
in their own homes will be more
cost-effective than in a facility.
He sees electronic, none-visit care
a thing of the future, but determining how that will be paid is
key. Test models, such as nurse
lines to offer phone advice or triage patients, have been in place
for years.
When asked his position on
Obamacare, Witt said, We needed
to do something about the direction of health care and paying for
health care. While the whole Affordable Care Act is far from perfect, it should be a starting point
for the conversation going forward
and that people will need to part
with the politics and continue to
improve on those things that were
started to make improvements.
Witt is a firm believer that it is
never too early for end-of-life care
conversations. With the amount
of healthcare that is spent in the
last year of life, one of our prime
objectives should be for everyone
to have a conversation with their
physician or provider about
thoughts and plans for end of life
care We need patients to be
partners. They are tough
questions...Have that conversation
with your family, he said.
Witts background

Witt earned his bachelors degree in biology from St. Johns

University and his medical degree
from the University of Minnesota
Medical School in Minneapolis.
He completed his residency with

the University of North Dakota

Family Practice Program in Bismarck, North Dakota. Prior to
joining Mayo Clinic Health System in 1997, he practiced medicine in North Dakota, Washington, and was a partner in Interstate Medical Center in Red Wing.
Witt received a masters degree
in medical management/medical
leadership from Southern California University. He is a certified
physician executive through the
American College of Physician
Executives, board-certified in family medicine, and a fellow of the
American Academy of Family
Physicians. He also serves as an
adjunct faculty-associate clinical
professor of Family Medicine at
University of Minnesota.
Dr. Witt has practiced medicine
in the region for over thirteen years.
He joined Lake City Medical Center in 1997 and became its president and CEO in 2004. In 2012,
Witt was appointed to serve as
CEO of the Mayo Clinic Health
Systems in Red Wing. This month
Witt was selected to serve as CEO
of the Cannon Falls Medical Center.
Dr. Witt serves on the Board of
Trustees of Mayo Clinic Health
System in Menomonie and chairs
the Minnesota Hospital Associations Physician Leadership Council. He also sits on the policy council
of the Minnesota Medical Association. He has been involved with
the Rotary Club of Lake City for a
number of years and is a member
of the Board of the United Way of
Goodhue, Wabasha, and Pierce
Counties. He serves on the Board
of Trustees of the Red Wing Family YMCA and supports Every
Hand Joined in Red Wing. He also
volunteers at the free CARE Clinic
in Red Wing for county residents.
Balancing work and family

Tom and his partner in crime

Betsy, raised their three children
in Red Wing. Now adults, Luke,
Adam, and Carolyn all live in the
metro area while Tom and Betsy
live in Lake City. Adam congratulated his father and also recognized his mother for supporting
her husband in a demanding career.
Having picked up many late
night calls asking for medical advice in her husbands absence Betsy
said, I wish I had a better knowledge of medicine. A medical background would have been helpful
being married to a doctor. She
added, Im proud of Tom. Hes
worked hard. Unfortunately hell
probably just set the bar a little
higher now. Hes a hard-working
guy and health care is very important to him and so it really is nice
to see this honor for him.
Dr.Witt acknowledged that he
may not have always had the best
career/home life balance, but appreciated his family for being
adaptable.
Of his career Witt said, Its the
greatest job in the world, with
one reason being the number of
patients and families that allowed
me to touch their lives. He also
has enjoyed working with medical students. Id do it all over
again in a heartbeat, he said. Its
kind of weirdI dont stop to think
about what Ive accomplished.
Even so, Witt was appreciative
for people taking notice.
Tom Witt is the third doctor to
be honored as Goodhue County
Citizen of the Year. Dr. William
Walter of Wanamingo was the last
doctor selected for the honor.

sophomore
Emma
Culbertson will soon be embarking
on a new journey. Through American Field Service (AFS) she will
travel to Italy to study abroad for
five months. She leaves for Rieti, in
central Italy forty minutes east of
Rome, on January 28 and returns
home July 5. The 16-year-old is the
daughter of Scott and Tina
Culbertson of rural Pine Island.
Culbertson became interested in
participating in the student foreign
exchange program after learning
about it in English class in her ninth
grade year. Under the guidance of
English teacher Kathryn Thompson,
Culbertson gathered as much information as possible and researched
her options. She decided to go with
the AFS program because it is well
known, and she chose Italy because
she wanted to study in a European
country and it seemed to be the best
fit. After getting her parents approval, she immediately began filling out the application in March of
2014 and by early October of 2014
she finally received the news she
had been waiting for that she was
accepted in the AFS exchange student program.
AFS is an international exchange
organization for students and adults
that operates in more than fifty countries, and organizes intercultural
learning experiences. Culbertson

will study abroad in Italy for five
months.

said, The [application] process was

long but rewarding. I give thanks to
my teacher Ms. Thompson for pushing me to apply and helping me
through it all. Without her support
and reassurance I can guarantee I
would not be embarking on this
amazing trip.
For Culbertson the idea of traveling so far from home is both scary
and exciting at the same time, which
is why she chose to stay for only a
semester instead of a whole year.
She said, I didnt know anyone
who has done this before, so I am
nervous, but I really want to see
new things and learn new cultures.

I dont want to be stuck here in Minnesota. I want to travel and impact

the world, and this is a stepping
stone for that. Plus it will be a good
experience for college.
Culbertson started a video blog
(web journal) on her Facebook site
to help family, friends, and others
understand why she decided to study
abroad and the process. She said
the blog has helped her stay focused
and keeps things in perspective. She
hopes it will help other students who
might be interested in the foreign
exchange program and answer some
of the questions they may have.
Culbertson plans to continue her blog
during her stay in Italy so others
can continue to follow along during
her travels.
Upon her arrival to Italy,
Culbertson will be staying with the
DeAcutis family. Along with the
mother and father, the family has
two daughters, one older than
Culbertson and one the same age.
To prepare for her stay, Culbertson
has been using Rosetta Stone as a
tool to help her learn some Italian
words. She said that once she is in
Italy and immersed in the culture,
learning the foreign language will
become easier. She looks forward
to experiencing life in another culture on a daily basis and developing
a sense of independence. Another
thing she is excited about is trying
the food.

The Reversal at Lambeau Field

Publishers
Notebook
By Pete Grimsrud

I watched the Cowboys and

Packers game on Sunday at
Lambeau Field, courtesy of my
son and his managers season tickets.
As a Vikings fan with a son
wearing Cowboys gear, we were
treated great by the Packer faithful before, during, and after the
game. Good-natured banter and a
joy of football made us fast friends
with the yellow and green clad
fans. There were actually many
Hispanic Cowboy fans in attendance for my son to high-five.
A Lambeau attendance record
was set with unusually warm
weather considering the frigid days
before and after. The stadium seats
are cold aluminum benches, but
we rarely used them. Fans stood
the entire game with the exception of quarter breaks, long
timeouts, and halftime. Even then
it was like a game of musical chairs
because there wasnt enough room
for the last person to sit down on
the bench.
The game was a classic with
momentum swings, outstanding
performances, and game-changing officiating. The Cowboys ran
over the Packers the first half, but
only managed a four-point lead at
the break. The second half, mister
discount double-check Rodgers
started to pick the Cowboys apart.

The score wasnt unusually high,

but it was easy to see that both
defenses were fragile.
Cowboys quarterback Tony
Romo completed a pass to wide
receiver Dez Bryant at the Packer
one yard-line with a little over four
minutes left in the game. The ball
popped loose as Bryant stretched
for the end zone and a Cowboy
lead. One Packer fan behind me
started screaming, The ball hit
the ground! implying that it was
not a legal catch. Other Packer
fans agreed and cried for a review
of the play.
The play was right in front of us
and I told my son and the Packer
fan next to me that was one of the
best catches Ive seen. But, Id
watched a similar play in which
the Detroit Lions receiver
Megatron had made a similar
game-winning catch in the end zone
that was overturned by officials. I
wasnt a fan of either team, but a
catch and Lions sure victory was
stolen.
Ive seen over-technical rule interpretations ruin the daring, skill,
and play of teams more than once.
One example is the Brady tuck
rule, in which the officials assisted the Patriots to a championship victory over the Oakland
Raiders by ruling an obvious closing-second fumble as an incomplete pass after review due to parsing the wording of the rule.
I turned to a couple Packer fans
behind me and commented that I
wouldnt be surprised if it was
technically ruled an incomplete
pass, but it was a spectacular catch.
The three closest to me agreed

that it looked like a catch, but said

that the officials were horrible and
had been robbing them all day,
thereby justifying a possible reversal of the call.
It takes the NFL rules committee to take an amazing play of
athleticism, grace, and skill, in
which he grabbed the ball, arguably took three balancing steps,
and reached for the goal-line while
holding the ball, and rigidly rule
that he must complete the catch
after he had made the catch.
It was a fun experience and game
between my two favorite NFL
teams to root against. Any rules
called against Americas Team
(the Cowboys) seems like justice
to a lifelong Viking fan like me
who still suffers from the Pearson
Pushoff. After getting home and
watching the replay, I stand by
my original impression its a
ridiculous rule and/or interpretation.
The Packers now go to Seattle
to play the NFC Championship
game and return to the location of
arguably the craziest game-ending call in NFL history, in which a
Packer defensive back intercepted
a Hail Mary pass with two hands
a split second before a Seattle widereceiver reached across and
grabbed the ball with his hand in
what was ruled a simultaneous
catch and game-winning touchdown for Seattle by a scab official.
Sports can be fun, but its just a
game that mirrors what all of us
know lifes not always fair and
sometimes what comes around
goes around.

2015 The Minnesota Legislature wants...

From
Devils
Kitchen
By Jan David Fisher

The agenda for Minnesota is

getting set! The real priority is
coming out. Our state representatives and senators want to roll back
the clock more than 20 years. Before 1993 the Legislature met only
on the odd years and did not meet
as a group on the even years. Nice
work if you can get it, and you
could get it by getting elected to
the Legislature. (Name the song
and win a no-prize.)
Over the past twenty years,
elected bodies, state and local, have
added more meeting times to do
more work, not less. The school
boards went from one meeting a
month usually lasting less than two
hours to two meetings a month,
and one of them may still exceed
the two hour mark. Why? I found
at least one item on the agenda
would suddenly become conten-

tious due to local or state events.

For example, a review of a policy
(doesnt matter for what) which
should be cut and dry (and boring) suddenly hits home and may
take several meetings to resolve.
In Minnesota, the budget for the
state gradually got more and more
complex. Originally, the state
budget focused on infrastructure
(roads and bridges) and education.
Just within these two categories,
the budget increased its complexity. Then additional categories got
added to the list of must fund categories in the state constitution.
Look back the last few years to
NPR and the website for the proposed budget. You were asked to
propose changes as you took money
from one budget category and gave
it to another. Lobbyists made a
living just messing with the budget. Various senators and representatives are making hedged comments on whether or not they will
vote for one or two sessions.
Of course, they can hide behind
a big rock. The governor can always call a special session. The
big secret is that everyone gets
paid extra for actually doing their
job! Like I said above, nice work...
Years ago, when I first moved
to Pine Island, I met the mayor of
Rochester (Alex P. Smekta). When
he became mayor, he made the
job full-time. He became the face
of Rochester and in some cases,

Challenges and changes

for 2015 legislature
To the Editor:
The 2015 legislative session
began in St. Paul last week. Those
who follow our work closely may
have noticed a few changes since
last year.
First of all, Minnesota has a new
Speaker of the House. Although
the shift from single-party control of the legislature to shared
power brings certain challenges,
it also ensures we all have a stake
in working toward a productive
session one built on constructive dialogue and common-sense
solutions. Strong bipartisan cooperation served Minnesota well in
the past, and Im optimistic it can
again this year.
Our hard work building an honestly-balanced budget these past
two years puts this legislature in a
strong position to move past shortterm fixes. Instead, we can focus on long-term competitiveness,
strategic investments, and meaningful reform. I look forward to
continuing to work across the aisle
on issues important to our area
and to working with my House
colleagues on priorities ranging
from transportation funding to tax
reform, education to economic
development.
A second, welcomed development: an intentional focus on improving economic growth and
quality of life in Greater Minnesota. Minnesotas overall economy
is performing incredibly well.
However, this prosperity isnt felt
in many rural areas around the
state. A renewed focus on job creation and training, workforce housing, education and infrastructure

can make all the difference.

And, finally, a third significant
change since last year: the State
Capitol building is undergoing a
major renovation. Nearly twothirds of the building, including
the rotunda, my previous office
space, and important hearing rooms
and hallways have been closed off
for construction.
The State Capitol has been deteriorating for years. After all, the
building is more than a hundred
years old! Before I even took office, the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms
pulled me aside to point out the
crumbling exterior walls, peeling
paint throughout, and serious water damage seeping in from the
Capitols dome. This not to mention the buildings shortcomings
with electrical integrity, fire safety,
and simple access.
In 2013, there was broad, bipartisan support to finally address
these structural concerns. However, in making the State Capitol
compliant with fire and electrical
codes, as well as ensuring safe
access and ample bathrooms, the
renovated building will lose approximately one-third of the space
previously used for offices and
hearing rooms.
Thus the Capitol repair created
two significant challenges: How
do we address the lost office space?
How do we ensure public participation during the construction?
Compared to every other feasible option, constructing a new
office building adjacent to the
Capitol has been shown to be the
most cost-effective, long-term
solution for addressing our space

constraints. This work is underway and should alleviate the space

crunch by 2016.
As for public participation
the most important aspect of our
democracy I will continue to
make constituent meetings my first
priority at the Capitol. However,
given the construction, limited
parking, and tight quarters within
the building itself, meeting closer
to home may be our best bet this
session.
As in the past, well be holding
a round of town hall meetings in

Zumbrota Liquor Store to

reopen as The Guilty Goose
New owners have renovations under way
By Marilyn Anderson
ZUMBROTA A dumpster,
piled high with used carpet and
other building materials; a nonfunctioning ATM; and numerous
chairs could be seen outside the
entrance of the Zumbrota Liquor
Store at 223 Main Street South on
January 8. It was an outward signal that something major was taking place inside. A sign on the
door announced the upcoming
opening of The Guilty Goose.
Area business owners, Barney
Nesseth and Sara Durhman, purchased the Zumbrota Liquor Store
from Deborah Larson at the beginning of January. After major
renovations, the off-sale liquor
store side of the building will reopen Friday, January 16. Work
on the lounge side will be completed to reopen two weeks later,
on Friday, January 30.

Nesseth is the owner/operator

Along with his cousin, Justin
Nesseth, he also opened JBs Tavern in Wanamingo a year ago. The

business since 2000. Durhman

explained that she and Nesseth
wanted to come up with a different name, something fun and
catchy. With the long history of
the Blue Goose Tavern in town
(from 1951 to 1998), incorporating goose in the name seemed
appropriate, and the new business
partners decided upon The Guilty
Goose.
Fresh, new look

With the off-sale portion opening January 16, much of the initial
renovations focused there. Within
a week of purchase, there was new
lighting, fresh paint on the ceiling
and walls, and new tile in the process of being installed on the floor.
Floor shelving units were in the
lounge area with end caps freshly
painted.
The lounge area will also be
brighter with more lighting. The
walls and ceiling will have an industrial look to them with corrugated sheet metal wainscoting to
be placed on the lower portions of
the walls, with the rest of the walls
being painted a fresh, neutral color,
further brightening the area. Red
will be the accent color used
throughout the building. New flooring will be installed and the
restrooms are also receiving a
makeover.
With the changes, including new
tables and chairs, Durhman said
the lounge area will be comfortable and appealing. The patio area
will also be updated. Some things
that wont change are the games.
The bean bags, darts, and pool
table will continue to be available

Goodhue School Board holds

organizational meeting for 2015
By R.D. Aaland
GOODHUE Goodhue School
Board members took the oath of
office at the January 5 organizational meeting for 2015. Tris
Danielson was elected chairperson, Brian Schafer vice chairperson, Michelle Goodman treasurer,
and Ann Buck clerk. All of the
board members winning these
positions ran unopposed.

year. These rates will cover all

district employees, whenever they
qualify. The staff and board members will be reimbursed $8 for
breakfasts, $10 for lunches, and
$17 for dinners. These rates are
the same as last year.
Official designations

The next item on the agenda

was to set their own salaries. It
should be noted that in 2010, the
board cut their salaries by ten percent. The next three years they
kept their pay at that same rate. Last
year, the board voted to raise their
salary back to the level it was in
2009.
Brian Schafer said he was for
controlling expenses and one way
was to not raise salaries for 2015.
It passed unanimously that the
salary will remain the same as last
year. The chairperson will be paid
$300, and the clerk and treasurer
$150. All board members get $65
for a full days work and $40 for
partial days. The board will receive $50 for regular and special
meetings. The rate for mileage was
raised to meet the standards set by
the IRS; that is 57.5 cents per mile.

The News-Record was selected

as the official newspaper for School
District 253.
The official bulletin board will
be the one near the schools
office. It was also mentioned that
the schools website and the bulletin board at The First Farmers
and Merchants Bank may be used.
The First Farmers and Merchants
Bank and the Minnesota Liquid
Asset Fund are the official depositories for funds from the
school. The superintendent, treasurer and business manager are
authorized to make investments
of surplus funds.
Meetings will be on the third
Monday of each month at 7:30
p.m. in the high school.
The law firm of Ratwick, Roszak
& Maloney, a firm from Minneapolis that specializes in school
law, will be the designated school
attorney.
The current school policy book
was approved.

Zumbrota City Council reconsiders

Dairy Farmers of America penalties
By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA Members of the
Zumbrota City Council reconsidered the penalties imposed upon
Dairy Farmers of America (DFA)
in October and November 2014 at
the January 8 council meeting. The
reconsideration came after denying DFAs appeal in December
2014.
Mayer Rich Bauer said they were
reconsidering the decision to
double the penalties against DFA
for violations and black sludge for
the months of October and November 2014. It is my recommendation that we do not double
the fines and only charge them the
base rate for those violations,
Bauer said.
Bauers proposal also included
looking at neighboring areas that
have a similar plant and see what
types of regulations they impose.
He wants the Public Works sector
to get together, review new strategies, and come back to the coun-

cil with suggestions on where to

go from here. He emphasized the
need for adjustments and for more
clearly defined explanations of
what classifies as an incident or
violation.
Bauer also proposed the council remove the billing for black
sludge from DFAs bill, saying,
We cant prove DFA is the culprit of the sludge. Even though I
have a very strong opinion on where
it is coming from, like many things
in life, we cant prove it.
Councilors Tina Hostager, Sara
Durhman, and Dale Hinderaker
all agreed with Bauer that removing the double fines would be an
offering of good faith between the
city and DFA and give DFA more
time to focus on continuing to
improve the issues at the plant.
Councilor Brad Drenckhahn, however, strongly opposed removing
the doubling of fines on DFA.
I have no problem removing
the black sludge bill because we

cant prove where it is coming

from, Drenckhahn said. But why
are we thinking of backing away
from doubling fines, other than
the threat of legal action by DFA?
The council voted 5-0 to remove
the black sludge billing on DFA.
October billing will be decreased
from $29,205.00 to $14,602.50,
and November billing will decrease from $7, 177.50 to
$3,588.75. Both reductions passed
4-1, with Drenckhahn opposing.
The council will also reexamine fees at the next meeting once
they have given DFA the proper
ten-day notice that is required.
Mayor Bauer suggests changing
the base rate of fines from $4.50
per pound to $6.00 per pound starting later this month or February.
Other business

The council approved the proposed 2015 fee schedule 4-0, with
Sara Durhman abstaining.

from Bayer Crop Science Corporation for their local FFA chapter. This
company is driven to find innovative ways to make agriculture sustainable
by using biotechnology and promoting biodiversity. Their goal is to
improve lives around the world. This starts by equipping students with

projects done throughout the year.

Zumbrota to get new ice rink

By Tawny Michels
ZUMBROTA On Monday,
January 5, the Zumbrota Park
Board heard a proposal by Zumbrota firefighter Scott Sorby on
improving the current ice rink in
town. The proposal is to put up
plastic or wood boards to define
the borders of the rink, level the
ground, and use a liner to improve
skating conditions.
Newest park board member
Brittany Thomforde questioned the
cost of such a project. Sorby said
that Zumbrota Ford, along with
the Zumbrota Fire Department, will
be paying for the new rink and
doing the labor. The recommendation is to install removable plastic

The board members agreed that
it is a wonderful idea to improve
the rink. They discussed where
the borders may be stored in the
summer and finding a better, more
permanent, location for the rink
in coming years. The board agreed
to see how this year goes and then
decide from there if they want to
turn the rink into a permanent fixture in town to be used as a roller
rink in the warmer months and an
ice rink in the winter months.
Sorby said he thought they could
have the new rink up and ready to
use before the end of this winter.
Mini park grant

The park board is applying for a

grant from the Statewide Health
Improvement Plan that will provide up to $5,000 to the City of

Zumbrota to use how they wish.

The board discussed possibilities
such as painting bike lanes, adding a bike fix-it station, park
benches on the trails, and a community garden. Locations have yet
to be determined, but the hope is
to turn Zumbrota into a green
community and one day connect
bike trails from Zumbrota to neighboring communities including Red
Wing, Goodhue, Wanamingo, and
Kenyon.
The plan for bike routes will
bring bicyclists through the downtown area to help improve business. This plan is ongoing, but the
board motioned to fill out the grant
application and get working on a
plan to integrate the new bike trails
into the comprehensive plan already under construction to help
improve the city of Zumbrota.

Thompson said the Goodhue

they want the county to step in.
The plan would then need to be

Pine Island has a very tough week

By Faye Haugen
PINE ISLAND It was a tough
week for the Pine Island girls basketball team. The Panthers lost a
trio of games to see their HVL
record dip to 2-4 and their overall
record move to 4-8.
The Panthers will play at Byron
on Friday, at Kingsland on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. and at Stewartville,
Tuesday.
Lourdes
The Panther offense was as cold
as the weather on Friday in Rochester. PI trailed just 31-24 at the
break against Lourdes, but their
offense went cold in the second
half, and they netted just five points
over the last 18 minutes in a 64-29
loss.
Lourdes had all of the momentum in the second half. We did
some things early in the game, but
after a couple of turnovers and
some other events, momentum
switched to the Eagles, pointed
out Coach Scott Miller. They really had us frustrated with their
ball pressure. The second half was
pretty tough on us. We shot our
lowest percentage of the season.
We had some good looks, but we
just couldnt get anything going
at all. We also really struggled
defensively tonight, fouling shooters and not doing a good job of
communicating.

Panthers took an early lead in the

coming back.
It was an entertaining game,
but we came up short, remarked
Coach Miller. We are in a brutal
stretch here, playing Tuesday,
Friday, Saturday for three weeks
in a row, then we do it again in
February. Missing a couple of our
players hurt our depth.

the buzzer.

ZM tops Triton for first HVL win

By Faye Haugen
ZUMBROTA The young Zumbrota-Mazeppa girls basketball team
picked up their fourth win of the
season and, more importantly, their
first HVL victory in play last week.
The Cougars moved to 4-7 overall and 1-5 in conference play. They
will try to build on that record this
week when they play at Cannon Falls
on Friday and host Byron, Tuesday.

Triton
Both the Triton and ZumbrotaMazeppa offenses struggled in
Tuesdays game in Zumbrota.
The Cougars got off to a great
start, taking a 26-14 lead by the break,
but ZM went cold in the second half
as they netted just 14 points over
the last 18 minutes. The Cougars
saw a 15-point lead dwindle to three
points near the end of the game, but
ZM was able to hold off the Cobras
for a 40-36 victory.

points.

GOODHUE You would have
to go back in the record books to
find the last time the Goodhue girls
basketball team lost a pair of games
in January.
The Wildcats suffered a loss at
Hayfield, Tuesday and they fell to
Southland on Saturday in Adams.
Goodhues record moves to 8-4
overall and to 4-2 in HVL play.
Goodhue will host Stewartville
on Thursday evening, Lyle/Pacelli
at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday as part of
a girl-boy doubleheader and travel
to Blooming Prairie on Tuesday.
Lyle/Pacelli is ranked sixth in the
latest Class A poll with Blooming
Prairie ranked fourth. Goodhue is
ranked eighth.

When the Wildcats and Hay-

KENYON Kenyon-Wanamingo
set the tone early in Tuesdays HVL
girls basketball game with Pine Island. By pressing full court and forcing turnovers, the Knights were able
to get off to a big lead and hang on
to win 69-51.
We really got beat inside, said
PI coach Scott Miller. We knew
the Knights were going to hit some
shots, but we did not do a good job
of securing the rebound when they
did miss. KW does a good job of
transitioning from defense to offense,
and our turnovers gave them some
quick points. We played more dis-

ciplined in the second half, but we

ran into a good shooting team tonight.
The Knights led 38-19 at the break,
but the two squads played nearly
even in the second half, with PI holding a 32-31 scoring edge. But that
was not enough to make up for the
first half of play.
Mara Quam netted 28 points to
lead KW in scoring with Megan
Quam adding 15 and Brittney Flom
10.

games the week before with concussion problems, returned to the

PI runs away from KW

By Faye Haugen
PINE ISLAND Full court defensive pressure by Pine Island
made it tough for Kenyon-Wanamingo to get the ball down the
court in Tuesdays HVL boys basketball game in Pine Island.
The Panthers scored many of
their first-half points on layups,
as they made a numbers of steals
and forced many turnovers that
turned into easy PI points.
Kenyon-Wanamingo did a better job of protecting the ball in the
second half, but they could not
make up for their play in the first
half, trailing 32-17 at the break.
Pine Island held a 22-21 scoring
edge over the last 18 minutes of
the game.
Mitchel Acker led a balanced
Pine Island scoring attack with 13
points. Ben Farrell added 12 and
Luke Thornton 11.
Eric Hokanson was the only KW
player in double figures with 10
points.
We played very aggressively
on both ends of the court and kept
the pressure on all night, said
Panther coach Jim McNamara.
Bryce Hinrichsen led us in rebounding for the second straight
game with eight rebounds, and he
added eight points.
