Let the Nightmares Begin
By: Joey Carlson
Boo! Scared? If not, the Jaycees Haunted House sure can do the job! For this
Halloween, instead of trick or treating, go enjoy the Jaycees Haunted House in
Sioux Falls. Jaycees Haunted House is a great place to go experience with a group
of friends or even for a date. Guys, this is your shot to prove to your lady friend
how manly you truly are. If the guy screams louder than their lady, then it was
truly never meant to be. Ladies, this is a great excuse for holding onto your date
closely. For people who are too scared, they can volunteer to put on costumes and
scare the night away.
Jaycees Haunted House will start at 6:30 p.m. every night (excluding Mondays &
Tuesdays) from Wednesday, Oct. 20, until Sunday, Oct. 31. Wednesdays & Thursdays will run until 10:00 p.m., whereas, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays will run
until midnight. The haunted house will be located at the Fine Arts building on the
south side of the W.H. Lyon Fair.
The admission fee will be $7/person. Bringing a canned good lowers the admission fee $5/person. If you are in the military, police, fire department, or work at Photo Courtesy of Google
the hospital, Jaycees is giving out a $2 discount (must have proof of ID). If someone is looking for an adrenaline rush, this would be a spook-tacular
place to visit.

The Tri-Valley varsity softball team this year consist of ten girls;
Ashlynn Montecollo, Morgan Mathieu, Shannon Van Zanten,
Nicole Ramstad, Jessica Johnson, Kristen Arends, Hunter Mathieu,
Shelby Ripperger, Chelsea Amundson and Cara Neises. The girls
had a great season and had a lot of fun. Ashlynn said, “Although
the record does not show it, we stayed strong all season. We are
capable of so much more, it is hard with a pretty young team. These
girls are definitely not afraid to bite off more than they can chew.
They are awesome!” Next season should be a better one. The girls
know what they will be facing and what they need to overcome.
Ashlynn also said, “Our toughest competition was definitely ourselves. There were so many little bumps and fears we needed to get Photo courtesy of Google

for a third year in a row. Team players
have ran above and beyond this season
and have ran to reach much success.
In Canton on Oct. 8, was the day of the Big Sioux Conferences for Tri-Valleys Cross Country team.
It was a tough competition and one of the warmest days with temperatures reaching up to almost
90 degrees that day. But, that didn’t stop the mighty Mustangs from doing their best. Liz Osman
placed 7th, Mary Jo Osman 12th, Kamber Lamer 17th, and Stacey McDonald 25th. The girls varsity placed 4th as a team while boys placed 3rd. Thursday Oct. 14 was the Regional Cross Country
meet. All of their hard work and practice has now come down to this final meet. The varsity girls
ran first. Running a great race, four out of five of them qualified for state. Coming in first was Senior Liz Osman placing 9th, Mary Jo Osman placing 12th, Kamber Lamer placing 17th and Stacey
McDonald placing 20th and not far behind was Hunter Mathieu, who placed 25th. The boys varsity
race was next with one qualifier Trae Bergh who placed 12th. Zach Schuman, Austin Oyen and
Ryan Schuman also ran. Zach, so close to qualifying, placed 23rd, Austin placed 37th and Ryan
placed 40th.

drawing for about two years, it is not easy for her
to naturally come up with ideas for projects. Her
favorite thing to do in art would probably have
to be painting; even though, she wishes she were
better at it. Quite a few of her pieces have gone
in the case at school showing her artistic talent.
She also has a tile by the lunch room, which she
painted. So far, she does not have any plans on
going to college for art, it is mainly a hobby. She
is currently working on a mural along with two
other seniors for the high school office. We are
all looking forward to seeing how their art will
turn out, and also, we hope to see more of Kamber’s art in the case before the end of the year.

Attention Scorpios! Becoming a little too obsessed about GPAs? Trying not to have a melt down?
Rather be hanging with the crew instead of compulsively memorizing index cards day after day?
Of course, who would not? Just try to ditch the stress-fest this month. When push comes to shove,
it’ll be alright.
The mind might be more likely on school matters than on the flirty stuff as the month of November
begins, but try not to miss the signal a certain someone is sending. It may be small -- nonverbal,
perhaps -- but it is important! The weekend could bring a challenge for the heart. Think it will be
easy to handle? Stepping outside of the comfort zone will help move this challenge ahead. Take a
risky risk! It may just pay off and leave a sweetheart for the holidays!
Do not think of this Halloween as just another holiday; consider it an opportunity to relax. A sugar
fix will totally help the stress and being a candy hound is perfect. The signature candy this year?
Mini Snickers bars of course. Those things will be everywhere.
This year’s costume has got to be fabulous. I am sure by now; the perfect costume has been already
taken care of. Procrastinating and need a little help? For the gentlemen; a vampire of course. That
is it. All the ladies are obsessing over Twilight characters, so why not get in a on a little bit of that
affection? Choose between a creepy vampire, or the charming, sparkling one and just watch the
ladies fall in love. And ladies, it has to be a fairy. Of course, be a mischievous fairy, which just cannot help but play a few tricks here and there. Whatever the perfect costume, make sure this Halloween is one for the books!

wigs! Thank you Makayla for being generous
enough to donate your hair.

Congratulations to Jacob Kinder and
Mary Jo Osman for being awarded Athlete of the Month! Mary Jo is involved
in cross country and track. She has been
pushing herself this season everyday at
cross country practice, and it has really
paid off. She has been a great competitor
and has earned a medal in almost all of
her meets. Mary Jo was excited when she
found out that she was picked for Athlete
of the Month. Mary Jo’s favorite sport
is cross country. Her favorite events in
track are the 800 meter relay and the two

moment is when the varsity girls won the Howard Cross Country Meet for the third time in a row.
Her advice is to never give up, and remember you are always stronger than you think.
Our male athlete of the month is Jacob Kinder. Jacob has been very successful this year during golf
season and has been a hard worker and a great athlete. Jacob has been involved in basketball and
golf for all four years of high school. His favorite sport to be involved in is basketball. When Jacob

do something,” are some of the words of wisdom from Jacob.

FFA Competes in Land
Judging
By: Mary Jo Osman
Land judging is an event that Tri-Valley FFA
participates in every year. 20 students are chosen
from Mrs. Vandervliets class and are taken to
Brandon for an all day competition. The students
are taken to a field to observe and critique the
layout and quality of land for farming. They take
soil samples and determine different kinds of
textures of the soil. Judges the land on how it
slopes and the condition the land is in and if it
is ready to be planted on. “It is a lot of fun and
a good reason to get a day out of school!” says
Cara Neises.
“Here we go mustangs, here we go!”
By: Josie Lamer
Pumping that mustang spirit up are your mustang football cheerleaders! On the squad we have
(seniors) Reba Goodrich, Josie Lamer, Andrea Paine, (juniors) Shaya Kellen, Rebecca Drake, and
(sophomore) Trina Baker. Every single one of these girls have put in a lot of effort cheering their
hearts out for the football team.
They also try their hardest to
keep the crowd involved in
cheering for our team. They put
up new signs and practice hard
every week. On Oct. 17, 2010,
the cheerleaders had second
grade through fifth grade girls
perform what they learned at
the Lil’ Stangs cheer camp at
the varsity volleyball game.
Their performance turned out to
be excellent! The cheerleaders
have had a great cheer season
and would like to thank their
dedicated cheer coach, Trish
Boadwine, for all her leadership and encouragement. Keep up with all the hard work girls!

Tri-Valley Marching Band
The Loud, The Proud!
By: Mary Jo Osman
Starting the season the mighty mustangs
participated in the Festival of Bands held
at Chester on Oct 1. There they competed
against six bands in Class A. The band scored
placing third overall. It was a great day for
marching and a great start of the season.
The Mustang band also had the chance to
participate, in Vermillion at the Dakota Days
Parade on Oct. 2. A total of 13 bands participated with three of them in Class A. That
day turned out to be quite eventful and rewarding. The band took first place! Mr. Ferguson and the
band majors, Kayla Peterson and Andrew Siemonsma were ecstatic. The Sioux Valley Marching
Band Festival was Tri-Valley’s last marching band competition held last Friday on Oct. 8 at Volga.
They placed third in their class. The band did an outstanding job this season placing in top four in
all of these competitions. We also must not forget the Flag Corps. They are every important and
play a huge role in appearance. The Tri-Valley flag corps has been working very well together to
come up with a great routine for marching. Senior flag captains are Josie Lamer, Ashlyn Koopman
and Reba Goodrich. Band teacher, Mr. Ferguson says “the flag corps leadership inspires excellence
for the entire group.” Congratulations on an awesome season band and flag corps members!
Mustang Playoff Power
They were there and they were loud! Madi Mead
and Andy Buchmann are the Fans of the Month.
You will always find them cheering on the football and volleyball teams. Madi is always at the
volleyball games. Since Andy is playing football,
Madi is there to cheer for both! You will always
hear Andy in the crowd cheering on with Chase
Moffatt and Thad Johnson at the volleyball
game. They will out cheer anyone and everyone! Madi’s favorite cheer is “I like to move
it,” because she is there to support the team and
not just sit there and clap her hands. She will be
the one who will start and finish great of all the
cheers. She says, “I love to cheer for the team,
it is fun and I get to learn all the cool cheers and
have an awesome time with my friends.” Andy
loves to go to volleyball games, because it is
fun and he has fun with his friends, his favorite cheer is “Da, Da, Da.” Andy said, “I would
rather go the games to watch and cheer for them,
because it is fun and it gives me something to
do rather than sit at home.” Keep supporting the
Mustangs! Come out and cheer on with Andy
and Madi!
As our Tri-Valley Mustangs enter into the playoffs, they lead the power point standings in Class 11B.
In the last month, the Mustangs took on Flandreau for Tri-Valley’s Homecoming, and the boys came
home with a victory. They have also played Dakota Valley, Tea Area, Platte-Geddes, and Beresford.
They are entering into the playoffs with a 6-2 record. Senior Tyrel Oyen says, “It has been a great
year thus far, and another dome trip would be fun, but we have to stay focused and play one game at
a time.” The Mustangs take on McCook Central Tuesday Oct. 26th at 7pm. They will host the game
at the University of Sioux Falls Stadium in southeast Sioux Falls. Good Luck Mustangs.
Preventing Winter Injuries
By: Tara Runestad
Staying safe and warm in the winter time can be tricky. Our school’s athletic
trainer, James Ramos, has given us some very important tips to make sure we
are safe throughout the winter months. When asked how to prevent injuries
in cold weather, he said, “To prevent cold weather injuries, it is important to
identify athletes who have a prior history of cold weather injuries. These individuals are usually identified during pre-participation physicals. Identifying
individuals who present with risk factors that may lead to cold weather injuries
is also very important. Some of the individuals that are at a higher risk for cold
weather injuries are females, elderly population, and individuals with lean
body composition to name a few. Other important ways to prevent cold weather injuries is by incorporating proper nutrition, proper clothing, and education
of athletes, parents and coaches on ways to prevent injury.” Thank you James
for the useful information that will be needed by Tri-Valley’s athletes.

moment during high school was when he got depantsed his sophomore
year. Jacob has one piece of advice for the underclassmen, “Don’t procrastinate.” Jacob wants to go on to college and in 10 years, he can see

the “John Wall Remix”, Mrs. Soto, and
orange juice. Nick has been involved in
football, basketball, and track throughout high school. His favorite memory of
high school was not just winning the state
championships, but just playing football
in general. His dream date would be taking Rebecca Drake on a picnic, go for a
walk on the beach, go for a casual sky dive, and then play some Uno Attack. If Nick could have any super power, he would fly, since he’s already
super fast and super strong. After high school, Nick plans on going into
Law Enforcement. In ten years, he sees himself being a police officer and
having wife and three kids. Nick’s advice to underclassmen, “Take advantage of every opportunity you get.”

Mexican hot dish and her favorite animal is a rhino. She likes the song
“Staplegunned” by The Spill Canvas. She loves being with her friends,
and if she were stranded on an island, she would bring her cell phone,
Ipod and Stinka (Kristina Polechshuk). Reba’s dream date would be with
Nick Thomas. They would swing, and he would sing to her. If there was a
super power she could have, it would be to read minds. Her advice to underclassmen would be, “Don’t worry about
what other people think, just do
your own thing and be who you
want to be.” If there is anything
she could change about her high
school years, she would have
paid more attention in Algebra.
Reba has been involved in Cheer,
Improv, Quiz Bowl, Jazz Band,
Flags, Dance and Senior Class
Officer. In the last four years,

hosting an exchange student last year from
Russia. Some of her favorites are: Mr. Snethen, homemade pizza, Dutch
almond patties, the movie “Forrest Gump”, Natasha Bedingfield’s “Pocket
Full of Sunshine” and anything song by Michael Buble. Summer and
winter are Liz’s favorite seasons of the year. On her time off Liz enjoys
reading, running, and being with friends and family. Liz’s perfect dream
date would be a walk in the park with Jake Gyllenhaal and then being
saved by Spiderman. If she was stranded on an island, Liz would bring
her dog, cell phone, and a gun. When Liz recalls back to her most embarrassing moment she proposed that dropping her computer on the first day
of school her freshman year was pretty embarrassing. If she could have
any superpower it would be the ability to become invisible. If Liz could
meet anyone in history it would be the King of Rock, Elvis Presley. Her
advice to underclassmen is “Have fun and work hard, because high school
will be over before you know it.” Liz’s plans after graduation are to take
a trip to The Netherlands for three weeks and attend Capernwray school

start at the arcade, then we would go to a Blackhawk’s hockey game, and
to end the night off, we would eat Taco Bell.” Chelsey’s advise to underclassmen would be, “Don’t get caught up in all the drama, because ten
years from now no one is going to care what jeans you wore, what parties
you went to or the days your hair wasn’t cute. The only things that will
matter are who your best friends are and the things you learned and will
never forget.” Chelsey’s plans for the future are going off to college to
get her doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology. Chelsey was asked if she
