Meet Joe Hengel



Having lived in the United States for fifteen years, I’m originally from Germany. My first name is Joachim, but nobody here can pronounce this, and I go by Joe.
I’m a second year automotive student at MERTS and live in Warrenton near the beach, which I enjoy a lot. Some of my hobbies are reading exciting novels of science fiction, mystery, and thrillers. I also enjoy relaxing at home and watching movies on a big screen TV with high end stereo sound. I enjoy traveling a lot, especially visiting national and state parks in the American West. Some of my favorite places are the redwood forests of Northern California and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
I am disgusted at the greedy behavior of Oregon LNG that blatantly shows that corporations couldn’t care less for the will and benefit of the people. I’m equally dreading WalMart coming to town, which will destroy local businesses and hurt people. I’m thrilled about the recent discovery of a record-setting tree near Cannon Beach. During my first visit to the US in the 1980s, recycling was an alien concept, but the country has come a long way. I meticulously collect recyclables and bring them to the transfer station because, unfortunately, there is still no recycling at our place. I enjoy watching that there is progress at Clatsop Community College in the protection of students against second-hand smoke.
