LGA offsets levy Sauk Rapids approves increase of less than half percent BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS – Residents in the city of Sauk Rapids may have some relief on their city property taxes come 2020. The Sauk Rapids City Council approved a .25% increase to its preliminary levy at the Sept. 23 meeting. The total increase is $10,000. Although the amount seems slim, city finance director Jack Kahlhamer said it is not rare. “We’ve had numerous years where we have kept the levy the same,” Kahlhamer said after the meeting. “So, we’ve done pretty good with that over the years but that’s not to say some year’s it doesn’t go up 6% or 7% … It’s even gone down a few years.” Local government aid offsets the city’s increase in general fund costs. The city will receive $168,000

Council backs school district referendum

BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS – In a swing from the Sauk Rapids-Rice Public Schools last two referendums where the city council chose to not take a stance, the Sauk Rapids City Council approved a resolution supporting the $37.1 million referendum. The decision came at the Sept. 23 council meeting in Sauk Rapids. The referendum, which will be put to vote Nov. 5, will be used to replace Pleasantview Elementary School on its current site. The resolution states healthy and vibrant neighborhoods relay

– purchasing from Manea’s Meats or grabbing a coffee at Rock Creek Coffeehouse. “We reserved a table for a bunch of us when Jimmy’s Pour House had their recent beer dinner,” John said. “Two of our members were involved as the chef and the beer pourer from Summit Brewing Company. We like to attend things our members are involved in, just to show our support for community happenings. We truly want to be the hometown club.” The awards celebration included a ceremony, an overnight stay for the Sauk Rapids staff and a dinner cruise. While the celebration was enjoyable, the best part for the Schultzes was bringing the award back to the club. “We do what we do for the community,” John said. “We pride ourselves on being part of the Sauk Rapids community and meeting needs of everyone who comes into our club. When we took over the Sauk Rapids location, Kelsey and I came in and implemented everything we knew has worked well for us in our other locations. Our commitment to our members and the community has not changed, if anything it is stronger than before. We are honored to have our members and the community behind us and it is a tremendous honor to bring this award home.”

because the schools bring a lot of people into the town, driving economic development. “I think it’s a concern for the city because what do you do with that property? What comes in there?” he said. “I’m concerned the neighborhood would change over. I think there are a lot of people who live in that neighborhood with families for a reason; not saying they would have left but if the school district built the school east of town or somewhere else, I think that neighborhood changes. I’m not saying for the good or bad but I think its better to have a mix of people and families there.” Hunstiger said neighborhoods in Sauk Rapids are changing over and he believes that one reason people move to the city is to be in close vicinity to the schools.

Hunstiger said he initiated the resolution with hopes of approval. The resolution passed unanimously. Council member Jason Ellering voiced his support. “The Pleasantview issue has been a big focal point for the school district and I think getting this resolution passed is going to be really important,” Ellering said. “I think the school district has done a really good job thus far of getting the community involved and I hope they will continue to do that as the vote growers closer. … It needs to be replaced in my opinion. I have two kids who go there right now and it’s jam-packed, so let’s get that school rebuilt.” Hunstiger said it is important for the city to work collaboratively with the school district

in additional LGA in 2020, allowing them to keep the levy low. The Sauk Rapids preliminary levy is set for $3,990,600. With an estimated 9.87% increase in net tax capacity, the city’s tax rate should fall to 42.31%. The council has the ability to decrease its preliminary before final levy approval which needs to be completed prior to Dec. 31.

The Sauk Rapids location is involved with the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce and the Silver Sneakers program. They are connected with the city of Sauk Rapids and the Sauk RapidsRice School District as well. “We sponsor pretty much all of the teams at the high school,” John said. “We have many of the athletes that come here to work out, so it is important to us to give back in that fashion.” The Schultzes also make a point to support other small businesses

The design serves as the most efficient option to counteract right-of-way acquisitions and avoid driver confusion stemming from the previous three-way intersection. “Originally I thought the peanut design was interesting, but not needed,” said Terry Wotzka, Sauk Rapids city engineer who practices with SEH Inc., in a separate interview. “I looked at it further and it

became clear the peanut would create less rightof-way impacts.” The city began envisioning the roundabout as a possible alternative to the intersection last spring. A roundabout limits complications and merely involves yielding to oncoming vehicles. “We have enough roundabouts to where people see the efficiency of them,” Wotzka said. “They operate more efficiently and I hope that will dramatically increase safety.” Once the peanutshaped design was chosen, construction started in May. The new roundabout, pending any delays on the project, will open as an ideal option for school buses and the swarm of parents and guardians navigating it to drop off and pick up students at Mississippi Heights Elementary School and Sauk RapidsRice Middle School. “I think the city has done the right thing for safety,” Wotzka said. “It’s designed to accommodate

for semi-trailers and buses.” - Hosted a presentation from the Hillside Adult Education Center. The center cited a dropoff in student attendance as a problematic trend. The school has been educating 170 students as of last year compared to 280 a few years before. Hillside, which emphasizes basic skills enhancement and family literacy, is seeking more students. According to the 2010 census, over 5,000 Sauk Rapids residents did not have a high school equivalency. Adult education is a prominent focus for the Sauk Rapids-Rice School District, making the board meeting the ideal setting for Hillside’s presentation. “So many times, people think of us as a school district as serving kids from kindergarten to 12th grade,” Sinclair said. “It’s bigger than that. It’s early childhood up until adulthood. Literacy remains a focus across all of those spectrums.”

Following an overlay reconstruction and the installation of two driver feedback signs, county staff has the opportunity to learn more about the road’s traffic. County engineer Chris Byrd explained the signs’ technology at the Benton County Board of Commissioners meeting Sept. 17 in Foley. The 10-minute presentation gave county officials a glimpse at the capabilities of the designs. Two signs were placed on County Road 55 in roughly a half-mile stretch – one near the west end of Gordon Bridge facing the traffic traveling northeast and one where the speed limit changes from 55 mph to 35 mph facing the traffic headed southwest. The signs were purchased following numerous complaints of speeding vehicles from area residents. The radar signs are intended to make drivers aware of their speeds and potentially alter their driving behavior, but the added unforeseen benefits to the devices are what motivated Byrd to bring his information to the board. “We used some of our sign budget to install these signs on that roadway,” Byrd said. “I didn’t know going into that – we looked for the most economical sign we could find, the cheapest sign – but the sign came with the capability of uploading data to the cloud.” Byrd learned he is able to pull data the signs collect as well as alter the signs’ communication to drivers – at which point it flashes and strobes – from the convenience of a computer. In a quick look during the meeting, Byrd pulled the Gordon Bridge sign information from the week prior, announcing 3,362 vehicles drove passed the sign. During that week, Sept. 13 had the most traffic of 520 vehicles, and the maximum speed clocked at 63 mph on the 35 mph roadway was reported on both Sept. 16 and Sept. 17. The signs are also capable of sending text and email notifications should that feature be activated. In addition to keeping record of traffic counts

and the excessive speeds vehicles are traveling, Byrd can also track minimum speeds. He said the information could come in handy should the county be interested in one day building pedestrian trails or widening the constricted roadway. “You may wonder what value to me are minimum speeds,” Byrd said. “But if you know the average walking speed is about 3 miles per hour and the average bicycle speed is about 10-12 miles per hour – this is a benefit that I didn’t really think about until I got this. I know there have been a lot of discussions of bicyclist and pedestrians on that road … I have something in place now that if I can start to see increasing percentages of these low speeds, maybe there is an indication that there are more bicyclists or pedestrians trying to use that road than previously thought, or not.” Despite the wealth of information the signs will provide, Byrd is most concerned with how the driver feedback signs will alter those not abiding by the law. “This was a welcome sign and hopefully it changes some driver behavior in this location,” he said.

Tours scheduled for those interested in viewing Pleasantview With students back at school and fall activities underway, it is a busy and exciting time for all of us at Sauk Rapids-Rice Public Schools. I appreciate the ongoing community conversation about One Storm BY AARON SINCLAIR One Future, our district’s SRR Superintendent long-term plan to improve the quality of our school facilities. More than 10 months of community engagement and evaluation through listening sessions and surveys have resulted in this community-driven plan. First and foremost, residents told us to address the issues at Pleasantview Elementary School. Pleasantview is showing its age after 50 years of use. The facility was originally designed as an open concept space. But the building’s lack of walls and doors means there is no sound dampening. This makes classrooms noisy, which is difficult for teaching and unsafe in the event of an emergency. In addition, classrooms are not adequately sized to effectively serve students, with spaces such as hallways functioning as temporary learning areas. There is limited on-site storage and only one full-size set of bathrooms shared by the entire student body. When engineering and education experts assessed the school building in the spring, they noted many concerns, including asbestos tiles in the gym and cafeteria, an aging roof, lack of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and an outdated heating, ventilation and air cooling system. Other concerns include traffic flow safety and building security. After careful consideration, it was determined that renovating the Pleasantview building would not address all of the building’s shortcomings. With that in mind, district administration and the board of education put forward a referendum question asking voters to consider replacing Pleasantview with a new facility on the current site. The plan for a new school building on the existing Pleasantview site would positively impact students in many ways. A new building would meet modern standards for education, health, safety and accessibility. A new school would cause less disruption for students and staff, who would continue using the current building during construction. A new facility would provide suitable space, storage and security. Finally, the plan to build a new facility to replace Pleasantview reflects the community’s feedback and would make better use of taxpayer dollars. Remodeling would take longer and would cost nearly as much. After a public decision is made on Pleasantview, the district will know how to prioritize and fund other improvements in our other facilities. Our community has determined that addressing the needs at Pleasantview is critical. Therefore, if the public decides not to replace Pleasantview, funding that could be used for other district projects will be allocated to Pleasantview. As the referendum approaches, we want to be sure you have all the information you need to make an informed choice, including the opportunity to tour Pleasantview. Tours will be offered at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Oct. 9, Oct. 16 and Oct. 23. We hope you can join us to see Pleasantview firsthand. Each tour will be limited to 15 people, so make sure to reserve your spot by emailing Christie Young at christie.young@isd47.org. If all our openings fill up, more dates and times will be added. I also encourage you to visit http://OneStormOneFuture.com to learn more about the needs of our schools, the plan, tax impact and voting. Please reach out to me directly at aaron.sinclair@isd47.org or 320-258-1809 with your thoughts and questions. This is an important community decision, and your participation is highly valued. Go Storm!

Chamber board backs area referendums Approves resolutions supporting Sauk Rapids-Rice and Sartell-St. Stephen school districts ST. CLOUD – The St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors received presentations on two school district referendums during its Sept. 24 meeting. Superintendents Jeff Schwiebert, of SartellSt. Stephen Schools, and Aaron Sinclair, of Sauk Rapids-Rice Schools, explained their proposed referendums, discussing the needs of each of the districts, and the potential

consequences if the referendums are not passed. Following the presentations, the chamber board discussed the proposals and voted to support them both. Superintendent Schwiebert explained money received from the school building bond referendum, approved by voters in May 2016, cannot legally be used for district operations. The proposed operations levy, which is on the November ballot, will provide revenue to adequately run the new school. Failure to pass the operating levy, Schwiebert explained, may result in critical cuts to the Sartell-St. Stephen operating budget which could potentially lead to increased class sizes, significant changes to

student transportation practices, cuts to academic programs, cuts to activities, increased student fees and a change in open enrollment policy. The St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce supports the passage of the Sartell-St. Stephen School District operating levy referendum to operate the expanded district facilities in order to provide a well-educated and prepared workforce. Sauk Rapids-Rice is presenting a facility referendum to voters in order to replace Pleasantview Elementary School with a new building on the current site. Superintendent Sinclair shared the problems with the existing building and explained the comprehensive process used to

determine need and community support for a new school. “We appreciate how thorough and transparent their process has been,” said Teresa Bohnen, chamber president. “And also the fact that they are addressing most of the other facility priorities using existing revenue, so there is little or no tax impact other than the new elementary school.” The St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce supports the passage of the Sauk Rapids-Rice School District facility referendum because the need for a new facility has been clearly demonstrated and a new school will support long-term workforce development investment for the region.

through November. Farm equipment is large and heavy, making it hard for operators to accelerate, slow down or stop. The equipment also makes wide turns and can sometimes cross over the center line. These vehicles can also create large blind spots, making it difficult for operators to see approaching vehicles. All of these factors can cause serious crashes.”

From 2016 to 2018, there were seven fatalities and 385 crashes involving at least one farm vehicle in Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s crash data. Of the seven fatalities, one was a farm vehicle rider. Of the 154 injuries, 50 were farm vehicle riders. Motorists should: - Slow down and use caution when approaching

farm equipment. Do not assume the operator can see you. - Watch for debris dropped by trucks. It is safer to brake or drive through debris than to veer into oncoming cars or off the road. - Wait for a safe place to pass.

Wrong-way motorcyclist injured in collision ST. CLOUD – A Minneapolis man suffered lifethreatening injuries late Saturday after a collision in Watab Township. According to a release from the Minnesota State Patrol, Dale Maxson Jr., 52, of Minneapolis, was transported to the St. Cloud Hospital after his motorcycle hit head on with a vehicle driven by Brandon Panitzke, 35, of Little Falls. Maxson was traveling southbound in the northbound lanes of Highway 10 near County Road 33. Law enforcement was dispatched to the crash six minutes before midnight. Panitzke and his passengers Cody Hegseth, 30, of Little Falls, and Derrick Muller, 30, of Little Falls, suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the incident. Alcohol was not believed to be a factor in the crash. The Benton County Sheriff’s Office, Sauk Rapids Fire Department and Mayo Ambulance Service assisted the state patrol on the scene. Three injured in Glendorado Township crash ST. CLOUD – Occupants of two vehicles were transported to hospitals Sunday after a mid-afternoon crash. Christopher Morse, 38, of Sartell, and passenger Julie Morse, 38, of Sartell, were transported to the St. Cloud Hospital. Chelsey Nordstrom, 20, of Princeton, was taken to the Fairview Northland Medical Center in Princeton. All suffered non-life-threatening injuries. According to a release from the Minnesota State Patrol, Nordstrom was traveling south on 165th Street in Glendorado Township when she stopped at a stop sign at Highway 95. She then pulled out, striking an eastbound vehicle driven by Christopher Morse, causing it to roll. A 10-year-old passenger, Lauren Morse, and 17-year-passenger of Nordstrom, Christina Holte of Big Lake, were not injured in the collision. The Benton County Sheriff’s Office assisted on the scene. Arts school receives grant for spring concert FOLEY – The Central Minnesota Arts Board awarded $99,653 in support of 17 regional arts projects at its Sept. 19 meeting. The Wirth Center for Performing Arts, of St. Cloud, was a recipient of $3,500 for its spring gala which takes place at the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School. More than 200 students of all ages will perform at the event which showcases multiple disciplines. Two face jail time following drug arrests SAUK RAPIDS – Sauk Rapids residents Daniel Adam Oltz, 30, and Makayla Shea Huizenga, 28, are in jail following an incident that led to arrest Sept. 11 in Pierz. Oltz is charged with one count of felony firstdegree controlled substance, one county of felony violation of a domestic abuse no contact order and one count of giving a false name to a peace officer. Huizenga is charged with one count of felony first-degree controlled substance and one count of felony fifth-degree controlled substance. Both parties face more than 30 years imprisonment and a $1 million fine. According to a criminal complaint filed in Morrison County, the Pierz Police Department received a suspicious activity complaint of a couple with a pile of personal property who had been present at Sue’s Drive-In in Pierz for several hours. Upon contact, Oltz and Huizenga initially gave a false name for Oltz. Oltz’s identity was confirmed when an assisting state trooper notified the officer that he believed he had been given a false name. Officers discovered an electronic cigarette with a marijuana cartridge on Oltz and a jar of marijuana in Huizenga’s purse. Following the pair being placed under arrest, a search of their property turned up drug paraphernalia including two bongs with roughly 4 ounces of liquid that tested positive for methamphetamine, bags that contained over 28 grams of methamphetamine total and marijuana. Additionally, Huizenga was found with Suboxone, a prescription narcotic, on her person. Both Oltz and Huizenga are being held at the Morrison County Jail. Should either party make bail, they will be released to the Benton County Sheriff’s Office which has active warrants for both people.

Now, the players rake lawns throughout the community as part of a fall service project, gaining experience in community endeavors. Their cleanup date is set for Oct. 12. “Here on the football team, we’re trying to promote supporting your teammates,” said Julie Kieke, treasurer for the Storm End Zone booster club. “In a way, we’re teammates with the members of our community.” The club seeks donations to fund essential equipment for the Storm football team while Storm players send personalized letters to their support systems outside the Sauk

Rapids area asking for vital donations. Last fall, the groups raised enough money for Storm End Zone to purchase Guardian Caps, a protective helmet cover designed to limit concussions. Concussions have been a major topic of debate among football circles as organizers everywhere search for ways to protect their players from suffering from CTE effects as adults. Through Storm End Zone’s efforts, that reality is entirely possible. “I don’t even know if we’ve had any concussions during practice,” Kieke said. “Ultimately, the Storm End Zone Club wants to provide equipment for the players that will promote their safety and something that will benefit them.” The Storm have done community cleanups in the past; under former head coach Bill Magnuson, donated their time to cleaning yards. However, the team drifted away from those services in favor of selling raffle tickets in order to accumulate funding for concussion protection. “After doing that for

a few years, we got to the point where we felt that players were trying to sell a lot of things,” Kieke said. “We thought if we had a service component, it would get away from us having to sell more things and we can do a lot of good for the community.” Last fall, the Storm once again picked up their rakes and made a conjoined effort to clean up community lawns. The project, however, failed to gain much traction as they did not prepare heavily in advance. The players cleaned up four lawns, far less than what they had hoped. “With starting it back up, we did not recognize how it might be a struggle to get names,” Kieke said. “This year, we’re trying to get ahead of the game.” The club is shooting high this year; Kieke is hoping for the team to rake 25 to 30 lawns come October. To accomplish that feat, the club is expanding their social media presence. The Storm End Zone Club Facebook page has provided continuous updates to Storm football games and they have

worked on building awareness. “We’re really trying to create a presence through our Facebook page,” Kieke said. “The hope is to expand our audience.” An audience expansion is exactly what the team is hoping for; it gives Sauk Rapids-Rice athletes an exceptional opportunity to give back to the community that has eagerly supported them for years. “I think they enjoy it,” Kieke said. “Last year, it was a fun event for them.

Kieke said. Kieke expects the Storm to be clearing yards for at least four to five hours. It serves as a teambuilding exercise but also teaches them the importance of assisting those in need. “Players recognize that they can make a difference on and off the field,” Kieke said. “The hope is that they will continue to contribute and give back to their community in the future.”

The Sauk Rapids-Rice football team rakes leaves into piles October 2018 at a home in Sauk Rapids. The team devotes hours of their time cleaning community yards to help fund new equipment.

Seniors win 12-6 Class of 2020 reigns over powder puff football for two consecutive years BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

homecoming powder puff football game. The Sauk RapidsRice Middle School football stadium – home to the Storm’s varsity team – hosted the game between the class of 2020 and class of 2021 girls Sept. 25 in Sauk Rapids.

Granite City blows by Blizzard 4-2 BY EVAN MICHEALSON STAFF WRITER

The Granite City Lumberjacks took the ice at Sports Arena East against the Alexandria Blizzard Sept. 21 as if it were a normal divisional matchup in the early upsand-downs of the NA3HL season. The players, however, knew better than that. The Blizzard had sent Granite City home from the Fraser Cup playoffs far too early for their liking, and this game positioned them in an ideal spot to make a strong impression. The Lumberjacks picked up their goals in bunches and their defense made a physical statement in a 4-2 victory in a game far more remembered for the events preluding Granite City goals than the game-deciding scores themselves. The humidity outside the arena was unforgiving and as the air from outside came flowing into the rink, so did the humid conditions. As a result, fog began to emanate from the ice, making visibility a serious injury concern. “It’s been years since that’s happened,” said Mat Hall, Lumberjacks assistant coach. “We have to make sure the air doesn’t get brought in. It was neat to see to an extent, but it needed to be stopped to make sure no one got injured.” The players initially fought through the fog

and continued to play. Alexandria tallied the first score of the game on a goal by Brandon Connett at 11:18, quickly giving the Blizzard an early step up. The Lumberjacks fired up “Chelsea Dagger” with a goal by third-year forward Bailey Sommers at 18:31 and scored again just 17 seconds later on a goal by Nikolai Rajala, formerly of the Greenway Raiders. “Nikolai is an impact player,” Hall said. “We knew the kind of guy he was when we got him.” The fog forced game officials to suspend play with 1:11 left in the first period. Once the problem was resolved, the extra minute was played, followed by another short intermission before the second period. “It’s what you have to do in those weird circumstances,” Hall said. The second period started uneventfully as the teams skirmished in the neutral zone, trying to find scoring opportunities. Finally, Alexandria’s Cole Jacobs deposited the puck passed Granite City goalie Nate Johnston with 11 minutes left in the period to even the score, 2-2. The Blizzard’s fatal flaw, however, would rear its ugly head in the second period, as the team could not stop committing penalties. The visitors committed four infractions in the second period alone. The entire game, however, hinged on a penalty far worse than the average roughing call. Blizzard defenseman Val Popowski’s stick caught the midsection of Granite City forward Ryan Pogue,

immediately triggering a game misconduct penalty. The Lumberjacks began a five-minute power play as Pogue was escorted to the locker room by medical staff. He would, however, return to the game. With a man advantage in front of their home fans, with a change to gain the upper hand on an opponent who had embarrassed them just months earlier, the Lumberjacks made sure to cash in. Carson Simon, acquired from the Breezy Point North Stars in the offseason, scored his second goal as a Lumberjack. Granite City saw several excellent looks, ringing a couple shots off the post before Simon buried the puck on the third attempt. “The message was clear: we were not losing this game,” Pogue said. “We wanted to win.” The reigning West Division champs could not have emphasized that as emphatically as in the moments following the goal. Granite City, still a man up, won the center faceoff as Rajala quickly skated down the ice and scored his second goal of the game eight seconds after the first goal of the power play. Rajala’s assertive arrival could not have come against a better goalie; Blizzard goaltender Ville Hyttinen was his teammate at Greenway. “You always want to score on your own teammate, so anytime he had the opportunity to shoot, he did,” Hall said. Rajala’s excellent night was coincided by excellent feeds by defensemen. Jack Flattum, Kearby Larson and Sean Davidson each picked up an assist. The Lumberjacks controlled puck possession from thereafter, limiting Alexandria to just six shots in the third period. Granite City vastly

outpaced the Blizzard in shots, outshooting them 32-18 on the night. Johnston, in his first start between the goalposts, did not face many opportunities but made sure to deliver when the shots came firing at him, picking up 16 saves on those 18 attempts. “Defense wins championships,” Hall said. “Forwards are a dime a dozen, but it’s tough to find goaltending and the right defense. In the championships we’ve won, we’ve had strong defense. With us only returning two defenseman from last year, we emphasized defensive zones to try and get everybody on the same page.” And through two hard-fought skirmishes, the Lumberjacks have avoided a meltdown and have played a full 60 minutes. “It’s another thing we built on from last year,” Pogue said. “You can let off one shift, but the shift you let off, that’s when they get chances.” This weekend, an unstoppable force meets an immovable object as the North Iowa Bulls test their high-powered offensive manpower against the improved Lumberjacks’ defense for a two-game series, Sept. 27 and Sept. 28, at Sports Arena East in Sauk Rapids. The Bulls have scored 23 goals in their first four games, resulting in a 4-0 record. The Lumberjacks went 6-0 against the Bulls last season, but this is a distinctly different North Iowa squad. “I tell the kids, ‘You have to beat the best to win a championship,” Hall said. “I think if you don’t get excited for North Iowa, you don’t deserve to play. We’ll be able to determine what kind of team we’ll have based on how we play this weekend.”

Last Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings defeated the hapless Oakland Raiders 34-14 in one of the team’s most stress-free victories in recent memory. The Vikings punctuated their first drive with a 35 yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins by ANDY THAYER to Adam Thielen and that Sports Columnist possession set the tone for the rest of the game. The Vikings never looked back, and this game presented a crystallized view of how tough the Vikings can be when they stick to the script and do not shoot themselves in the foot. The first quarter of every game is extremely important for the Vikings, who are built to play with the lead. Their power running game, which ranks second in the NFL with a whopping 193.7 yards per contest, allows them to control the ball both by minimizing turnovers and taking big chunks of time off the clock with each possession. This approach complements their tough defense and allows them to dictate the terms of the engagement. It is tough to commit fully to the running game, however, when playing from behind. In the Vikings’ loss in Green Bay in week two, they fell behind 21-0 almost immediately, chose to place more of an emphasis on their passing game than they would typically prefer, and ultimately ended up losing the game. The Vikings are averaging 5.6 yards per carry this season, and simple math dictates that you are going to move the chains regularly if you can consistently churn out yards like that on the ground. Dalvin Cook is leading the NFL in rushing with 375 yards on 57 carries (6.6 yards per tote), and Alexander Mattison and Mike Boone have both been effective as well. In three quarters of action against the Raiders, Cook compiled 110 yards on 16 carries, and then he watched from the sideline as Mattison and Boone pounded out 86 yards on 15 carries with the game’s outcome already decided. The Raiders defense is not exactly the Steel Curtain, but it is still impressive when your top three running backs can compile 196 yards on 31 carries. Another wonderful side effect of a dominant running game is the pressure it takes off the quarterback. Kirk Cousins looked comfortable Sunday, and he completed an efficient 71% of his passes for 174 yards and the aforementioned touchdown to Thielen. This is primarily because the Raiders were selling out to stop the run and he was getting easy looks in the play-action game. Most importantly, Cousins did not turn the ball over. The Vikings have won both games this season when they have maintained an edge in the turnover battle, and it feels like that is going to remain a consistent theme throughout the season. Next week’s road game in Chicago against the Bears and their turnover-forcing defense is going to provide a telling litmus test for the Vikings. Both teams have quarterbacks who typically look great when playing with a lead, but struggle when they are forced to become one-dimensional and put their team on their shoulders. Bears signal-caller Mitchell Trubisky did not throw a single touchdown pass in his team’s first two games, but then lit the hapless Washington Redskins on fire when his opportunistic defense staked him to an early lead on Monday night. The Bears defense then went on to force five turnovers when the Redskins went into a predictable pass-first mode, and the game unraveled quickly. Are the Vikings going to be able to run the ball effectively against the Bears and prevent Kirk Cousins from suffering the same fate that befell Case Keenum on Monday? The NFC North division looks like it might be the toughest division in football. All four teams are above .500 and the teams have a combined record of 9-2-1. Winning an early road game against Chicago would be huge for the Vikings and would help them stay within striking range of the undefeated Packers, who will face a tough test on Thursday night against a desperate Eagles team that sorely needs a win. If the Vikings can get off to an early lead in Chicago, avoid costly penalties and turnovers, and let their running game dictate the flow of the game, they will have a chance to make a statement and get a massive road win. If not, things might get ugly for Kirk Cousins and head coach Mike Zimmer quite quickly.

Swimmers earn championship title at 10-team meet SRR girls swim and dive continuing to make strides BY ANNA HINKEMEYER STAFF WRITER

With every meet the Storm girls swim and dive team competes in, records are broken, personal bests are achieved and the team conquers goals beyond what they expect of themselves. This week was no exception as the girls hosted the Rocori Spartans Sept. 19, earning a 103-80 dual win, and traveling to Duluth to compete in the Soderlind invitational at Duluth East High School, where the team came home with the championship title. The girls travel to compete against Sartell at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3.
