It is amazing: A crime that has never been solved.”

Has the clubhouse chemistry improved this spring with the free throw contests and new music system?

Grant: “I’m not gonna say chemistry. I don’t think clubhouse chemistry was bad in 2012, but I do think panic struck in the last couple of weeks of that season. Whats the biggest thing preventing him from being the utility guy?

BISBEE a Bisbee High School Science Teacher Renee Riksheim has garnered another grant for the high school, this one a $10,000 grant from the Freeport McMoRan Foundation.

Riksheim, who is only in her second year of teaching at the school, also was responsible for the $50,000 grant the school received last year, also from Freeport.

aI used to write grants at my former job,a Riksheim said.

Riksheim previously worked at the Cochise County Health Department and has written between $3 million and $4 million in grants.

aI taught sex ed and went into classrooms and that is what got me interested in teaching,a she said.

The $50,000 Riksheim secured last year went into purchasing materials for the lab, aincluding computers which we desperately needed,a she said.

That grant also bought microscopes, electronic scales, an incubator, blood pressure cuffs and more.

aThe whole idea was to continue on with the development of the biology department, specifically physiology and anatomy and getting a bunch of equipment for that.a

The $10,000 should cover purchasing those items.
