Chemeketa’s transfer engineering program held its annual bridge competition earlier today. Students worked on the weight-bearing structures for much of the term before subjecting them to the weight test.
The structures had a to have a span of 14 inches, a maximum height of 7 inches and max weight of 2.5 oz.
Kyle Bonnet, Jonathan Boyd and James Lofton won the competition. Their 2.16 oz. bridge held a whopping 942 pounds, or 6,978 times it’s own weight. They’re in the last picture of the photo gallery here.

Somewhere in the Middle East an American professor is held hostage, blindfolded and alone in a cell. His wife Lainie waits for him at home in a surreally empty room while her life comes apart at the seams. Pressured by visits from an evasive government representative and a headline-hungry journalist, Lainie becomes increasingly afraid of losing her husband forever. Who can she trust? How can she help him?
Written in the late ’80s, Two Rooms by Lee Blessing searing portrait of solitude and devotion rings eerily true to today’s news. A revealing study of the personal side of terrorism, the play is also a love story between two people whose lives are interrupted by a world falling apart.

May 30th and 31st, June 5th, 6th, 7that 7:30pm; with a preview on May 29th at 7:30pm. June 6th will be sign interpreted.
