Kaleb's career goal? Build bridges
By REBECCA WELLS
While Kaleb Kingman's not sure
whether he wants to become an
engineer or not, he does know he
wants to work on building bridges.
"I really like everything there
is about it," he says. He had ini-
tially thought about becoming an
architect, but the career didn't look
like it paid enough to be worth all
the school. Engineers, on the other
hand, seem to earn decent wages
and have fun jobs.
"I've always been into building
things," he adds. Kaleb would like
to work for a company doing proj-
ects like constructing the Tacoma
Narrows Bridge. "The math in
bridge building is pretty fun and
interesting," he explains.
When he was studying pre-cal-
culus, the math involved a lot of
fun bridge problems. Now that he's
m calculus, the course hasn't done
much involving bridges.
"IT'S NOT EXACTLY fun," he
says. Still, solving math problems
is Something he enjoys.

place at the 40 et 8 veterans' club,

The raenu will feature New

Kaleb, who's finishing up his se-
nior year as a Running Start stu-
dent at South Puget Sound Com-
munity College, plans to transfer
to Washington State University
next year. Up until last year, when
he enrolled at South Puget Sound
full time, he had attended Mary M.
Knight School in Matlock since pre-
school and is still enrolled there.
"It was pretty cool," he says of
going to Mary M. Knight. "I liked
the small-school experience."
What's his draw to WSU? His
sister Kami went there, plus, the
in-state tuition is much more af-
fordable than that of out-of-state
colleges. WSU's rural atmosphere
appeals to Kaleb much more than
the urban setting of the University
of Washington in Seattle, for ex-
ample.
"I'M NOT EXACTLY a city per-
son," he explains. WSU offers con-
struction management as an option
and has a strong reputation when it
comes to graduates finding jobs in
the engineering field.
Kaleb has worked in the Christ-
mas tree industry and in farm work,
doing maintenance and haying over
the summer. Until recently, his fam-
ily owned a 160-acre farm in Mat-
lock. His family has since moved
to Gig Harbor, though he still lives
in Matlock with his friend, Lucas
Christensen. His parents are Kurt
and Anita Kingman.
Growing up on a farm provided
Kaleb with the opportunity to oper-
ate heavy equipment and get some
experience in construction. Last
summer he helped build a 4,200-
square-foot house on Bainbridge
Island, where he als0 assisted with
the landscaping and again was able
to operate heavy machinery.
Once he graduates from high
school this June, Ealeb will still
have one quarter left to finish up
before he earns his associate's de-
gree. He's taking plenty of math
courses to prepare him for a major
in civil engineering with a minor in
construction management.
KALEB HAS MOSTLY A's on
his grade transcript as well as one
or two B's. He has qualified for the
dean's list at the college and is vale-
dictorian of his graduating high-
school class.
Along with his school work, Kaleb
has also been involved in extracur-
ricular activities. He has belonged
to FFA since the seventh grade,
serving tours of duty as chapter
treasurer and chapter reporter. For
the last two years he has been a
delegate to FFA's state convention,
where he votes and helps to make
decisions for the organization.
Kaleb has also served the FFA
as a judge of livestock, dairy and
poultry. He spent summers work-
ing on FFA and 4-H entries in com-
petition at the Mason County Fair
and Rodeo, and raised a hog for sale
at the annual livestock auction.
Before joining FFA, he helped his
brother Kyle plant trees for Simp-
son Timber Company through FFA
until that program was discontin-
ued. Kaleb also served as sergeant
at arms for his class in junior high
school.
As far as sports go, just when he
was almost tired of playing basket-
ball, his team made history. In this,
his senior year, he played on the
front line for the Mary M. Knight
Owls' basketball team, which qual-
ified for the state championship
competition. Mary M. Knight was
eliminating after losing its first two
games in state competition, with
Kaleb's playing time limited in the
first game due to a leg injury. A
scheduling conflict with an ocean-
ography lab at college caused him
to miss the second game entirely.
HE HAD BEEN playing the
first four minutes of each quarter
earlier in the basketball season,
but his playing time dwindled as
the pain in his leg increased. Start-
ing around ninth or 10th grade, Ka-
leb has also competed on the track
team.
MARY M. KNIGHT valedictorian and full-time South Puget
Sound Community College student Kaleb Kingman hopes
to design and build bridges for a living.

non-political, of course," Dnitra
adds. She'll then mail them in the

IDEALLY, UNITS of about a

one Christmas they sent enormous

now they have four or five units on

distribute the presents according

Dnitra passed on a recipe her

Thanksgiving dinner while he was
deployed in Iraq. Being from Ha-
waii, he found a way to incorpo-
rate canned, processed meat into a
quick holiday spread. He also had
to do this without the luxury of a
dining facility where he was sta-
tioned.
Thomas' Thanksgiving
Improvisation
Ingredients:
1 can a processed meat of choice,
he recommends Spam or Treet
Guava - or any type -jelly, to
taste
Preparation:
Open the can of meat and slice
it into normal serving sizes. Ar-
range slices in a shallow baking
pan. Dollop about a teaspoon of
jelly onto each slice of meat.
At this point, soldiers in Iraq
have to send their interpreter
- usually a local Iraqi - out to the
nearest town to buy fresh fruit
without being killed. This, Thom-
as said, is the hardest step of all!
Once the interpreter returns
from town alive,the cook can then
place a slice of apple and orange on
each piece of meat. Then top with
about three drops of a hot sauce of
choice on each piece of meat.
Place pan with contents into
a convection oven at 300 degrees
Fahrenheit for 35 minutes. Brown
meat to personal preference. Re-
move pan with contents from oven
and serve hot.
