Homicide at Skyway Campus
When Anatomy and Physiology students entered their classroom on January 30, they were shocked to see a “dead” man on the floor. The man was laying lifeless, surrounded by bottles, blood spatters, and a knife. According to Mr. Doug Canepa, the murder had taken place earlier that morning, and there were five suspects, one of which was not able to be located.
After getting the basic information from Mr. Canepa, the students got to work. Each had designated responsibilities to attend to. The first job was to document the crime scene. Using skills learned over the course of the unit, students collected valuable information, took photographs, and collected evidence. “Collecting the evidence was fun. It’s not really like the CSI shows on television, the process is a lot slower, and we had to wear ugly hair nets and gloves,” said senior Maricela Galaviz.

Rugby Makes a Name for Themselves
The Valley Christian rugby club has competed in its first two matches of the 2006 season. This under nineteen’s league has the Warriors facing opponents well beyond the typical high school athlete.
College Park was the first team to challenge the Warriors. As opposed to the regular halves of thirty-five minutes each, this was both teams’ first scrimmage at fifty minutes total. College Park due to it under nineteen rule is made up of mainly the hated Bellarmine Bells, respectfully hated of course. Down the skyway hill, the teams met on February 4 at Rolling Rock Park, a neighborhood park in community surrounding Valley Christian. The early afternoon (kick off) started the thirty-man battle to jump on the first ‘try.’ Remember that ‘tries’ can be compared to a touchdown in American football yet are worth five points. They are scored by not just reaching the goal but by touching the ball down into the try zone. Due to the location, the two point conversion kicks could not be taken because there were no field goal uprights; these would follow all tries.
