Meeker Street bridge needs $1 million paint job

BY STEVE HUNTER shunter@kentreporter.com

Kent’s heavily used Meeker Street bridge isn’t falling down but it needs a paint job. The work would cost an estimated $1 million.

That’s the news Public Works Director Tim LaPorte delivered last week to the Kent City Council’s Public Works Committee.

LaPorte said the paint job isn’t needed yet, but he plans to put the project in a budget request in the

next couple of years.

“It’s rusting and you can’t let rust go on forever,” LaPorte said during an interview after the meeting. “You can’t let it go too long. We’ll need to address it in the next few years.”

LaPorte estimated the painting cost at $1 million. He said about another $400,000 will be needed to replace concrete panels on the bridge deck that spans the Green River near the Riverbend Golf Complex.

Councilwoman Dana Ralph asked LaPorte at the meeting why it costs so much to repaint a bridge.

“There’s sandblasting and they have to work in a closed environ[ more BRIDGE page 4 ]

A 20-year-old Seattle woman is scheduled to be arraigned July 1 in King County Superior Court on charges for allegedly setting up two juvenile girls to work as prostitutes in Kent.

King County prosecutors charged Jacqueline P. Oliver with two counts of promoting commercial sexual abuse of a minor after Kent Police set up an undercover operation at a Kent hotel. Police arrested Oliver June 12 in the 21200 block of 66th Avenue South near the Hampton Inn. Oliver remains in the King County jail in Seattle with bail set at $150,000.

A former Kentwood High student pleaded not guilty in King County Superior Court to the charge of making threats to bomb or injure property in March at the Covington school.

Ryan D. LaPlante, 19, entered the plea June 20. He is scheduled to return to court July 3, when a trial date could be set or attorneys could ask for more time to prepare the case, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

LaPlante was booked June 20 into the county jail and then given a conditional release later in the day.

LaPlante failed to appear for his initial court date on June 10. That caused a judge to issue a $15,000 bench warrant. He was taken into custody June 13 at the Benton County Jail in Kennewick. A new court date of June 20 was set.

Court officials then quashed the bench warrant after it was determined the notice of LaPlante’s initial arraignment date was sent to an incorrect address, said

Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, in an email. LaPlante’s custody status returned to a summons rather than a warrant.

Prosecutors have charged LaPlante with threats to bomb or injure property in connection with an emailed threat March 29 to the Kentwood principal that caused the school to evacuate 2,000 students and staff and be shut down for a day.

LaPlante told King County Sheriff ’s Office detectives he emailed the threat because he was angry that he did not graduate in 2012 after attending Kentwood for four years, according to charing papers filed May 28.

If convicted as charged, the sentence range for LaPlante would be three to nine months in jail.

Graduation parties, end of the school year, Fourth of July, weddings, nice weather, barbecues and vacations mark the summer season. What many don’t realize is that summer, or the days between Memorial Day and Labor Day, have been labeled “The 100 Deadliest Days� on roads.

This is due to the increased miles traveled to these summer events and the increased availability and use of alcohol at the events, according to a Kent Police media release.

Law enforcement officers on June 21 launched a two-week statewide campaign to remove impaired drivers from roadways.

City, county and state police in Pierce, King, and Snohomish counties target roadways and the days and times of the week where motorists are most at risk for being hit by a drug or alcohol impaired driver.

Driver impairment continues to be the most frequent factor contributing to traffic deaths in Washington state. Half of all traffic deaths in the state involve an impaired driver.

ment so that nothing falls into the river,” LaPorte said.

“And it’s a high-quality paint.”

LaPorte explained later that because the bridge is over a river, crews use what’s known as a diaper in the business to form a cocoon around the bridge to keep any paint chips from dropping into the river. He said the workers wear protective suits to do the painting. The city would need to shut down the bridge for about two months to paint it.

The Meeker Street bridge was built in 1958. The bridge was last painted in 1994, LaPorte said.

All bridges must be inspected every two years under federal requirements to ensure the bridges are safe.

Kent pays King County to inspect bridges in the city.

“There’s no danger,” LaPorte said.

About 25,000 vehicles use the bridge each day.

Many drivers use the bridge for access to the valley between the West Hill via Reith Road or the Kent Des Moines Road, also known

that Oliver, “promoted the prostitution of two exploited youth, taking all of the proceeds generated from their prostitution activities.”

The investigation by Kent Police started after an FBI special agent requested police assistance with a prostitution case involving the trafficking of juvenile victims, according to charging papers. A teen girl told the agent that Oliver took photos of her for ads on www.backpage.com to attract prospective customers. Oliver used her phone number in the ad.

Detectives found the ads with photos on backpage. com that offered incalls, a term used when the clients respond to the prostitute’s locations for services.

A detective posed as a client and arranged a date for two girls for $120. They agreed to meet for an outcall at the client’s room at the Hampton Inn for an additional $30. At about 8:40 p.m. June 12, undercover officers saw a vehicle drop off two females outside

City officials say the Meeker Street bridge needs a $1 million paint job in the next couple of years. Crews built the bridge in 1958. It was last painted in 1994. STEVE HUNTER, Kent Reporter as State Route 516.

“It’s too narrow and needs to be widened, but that would cost additional funds,” LaPorte said. “It’s not bad enough to get a (federal or state) grant.”

Councilwoman Elizabeth Albertson asked LaPorte if it might make more sense to possibly replace the bridge if it costs $1 million to repaint it.

LaPorte said he didn’t know how much it would cost for a new bridge but

According to the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, speed or alcohol are not considered to be factors and it is not anticipated that the driver will be charged.

MVA Vice President and Director of Development Annette Williams said Shafer was on a ride with their team and the collision took place on a hill they had ridden before. It just was not Shafer’s day, she said.

“It’s an awesome, fun hill for cyclists and motorcyclists,” said Williams, who was not on the ride that particular day.

She said Shafer and the MVA team were on a ride that began in Kenmore to train for Share With Jerr, an upcoming fund-raising event he organized to raise money for Retinoblastoma International, an organization committed to supporting research, education, developing effective treatments, early diagnosis and awareness of Retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer in children.

Shafer organized the fund-raiser in honor

that is an option that staff could look at.

“We’re not to that point yet,” LaPorte said.

LaPorte provides regular updates about city bridges to the committee but decided to do this informational report in part because of the May collapse of the bridge in Skagit County along Interstate 5 near Mount Vernon.

“Meeker Street is our only bridge similar to the I-5 bridge collapse,” LaPorte

Last year was the first year Share With Jerr was held and brought in $17,398. This year’s event is set for Labor Day weekend and will go on as planned, Williams said.

Williams had been good friends with Shafer for about five years and said he had a great smile and loved to joke around and tease.

Shafer was also always willing to help anyone who needed it — whether that meant getting something done or helping out financially.

“Jerry was very kind,” she said. “He was genuine. He was quick to help anyone.”

Williams and Shafer trained together about four times a week and raced about one to two times a week. Her husband was also Shafer’s coach. In addition to this and his role as MVA board treasurer, Williams said Shafer would also help teach classes.

To honor his memory, Williams said MVA shortened its race Wednesday night to celebrate Shafer’s life. During the event, a microphone was passed around for those who wanted to share memories about Shafer.

said of the style and design.

“We’re watching it and it’s OK,” he said. “But it needs a paint job.”

A truck hit the Meeker bridge in 2006 and caused minor bending but the structure withstood the hit. The truck left the scene before the damage was discovered.

As far as other bridges in the city, LaPorte said the South 212th Street bridge needs about $400,000 worth of work to replace exposed rebar.

“Do you consider Edward Snowden’s exposure of the NSA’s secret surveillance program treason ?”

COMMENTARY

?

Question of the week:

One of the newest members of the Millionaire Club in Congress experienced what it is like to be poor in America.

Freshman Democratic Congresswoman Suzan DelBene during a recent week dined on a food stamp-sized budget, which the federal government calculates is about $4.50 a day or $30 a week per person.

It’s meant feasting on oatmeal, mac ‘n’ cheese and PB&J sandwiches. No Copper River salmon, filet mignon or even a Portobello omelet.

It’s a menu she has not survived on since college when she and friends pooled resources to get the most out of their limited food budgets. “Macaroni was a staple,” she said.

It isn’t today for DelBene, a former Microsoft exec who is married to a current Microsoft exec and living in a Medina home likely larger than most soup kitchens and most definitely stocked with a greater variety of food.

She’s smart enough to know that, as a Have testdriving the lifestyle of a Have-Not, she’ll invite ridicule from online commenters and skewering by political foes.

They may deem it a cheap stunt. She figures she can’t raise awareness about hurdles encountered by the 1.1 million people on food stamps in Washington — and 47 million nationwide — until facing them herself, even if just for seven days. Twenty-six other Democrats in the House of Representatives are doing the same thing this month.

“This is about starting a conversation,” DelBene said. “While we’re doing this for a week many families are doing this every day.”

They’re doing it now because the U.S. House of Representatives is nearing action on a 10-year farm bill of which the largest single chunk of dollars will go to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) from which food stamps are distributed.

A vote was likely to get postponed because of opposition to House Republicans’ desire to cut funding for food stamps by $2 billion a year; last year the nation spent $78.4 billion on the program.

That’s apparently too much for liberal Democrats worried it will leave millions of poor families with less assistance and too little for conservative Republicans who think too much will still be spent on the program.

President Barack Obama weighed in early last week threatening to veto the House version if it reached his desk with the food stamp cut intact. Meanwhile, the Democratcontrolled Senate pared $400 million a year from SNAP in the version of the farm bill [ more CORNFIELD page 6 ]

Hurting our environment It has come to my notice that the trash collection company Allied Waste in Kent will give you a free small recycle bin as long as you are paying for a small trash container.

However if you are paying for a larger trash container such as a commercial one, they will not allow you to have a free recycle container meaning if you want to recycle anything you will have to pay for another container.

If you have a large trash container and no recycle container, you will then be throwing recycle into the trash.

Why do that? It is hurting the environment, meaning future generations may not have as many of Earth’s resources that are already starting to run low.

If only things were that simple and clear cut. Preachers have preached and saints have acted saintly throughout human history. These holy souls have worked diligently to construct very nice looking sandcastles of spirituality, only to have a huge incoming tide of vileness and profanity wash it all away in an eye-blink.

Get rid of B&O tax Regarding the article (June 21) concerning the city of Kent’s implementation of an additional B&O Tax, the complaint of Brenda Campbell, the controller of Poulsbo RV, are well founded.

As a retired accountant, I sympathize with her. However, one should look at the B&O Tax in general, an “invisible tax” that must be paid (at varying “risk” rates, depending upon lobbying capabilities) by all businesses to the city, county and state, all based on the gross revenues of the business (with certain deductions), without regard to whether they are even making a profit.

For some new and marginal businesses struggling to stay afloat, this can mean the difference between staying open and closing up shop. At least with the sales tax (although incredibly regressive and filled with exemptions and deductions for other mischief), it is collected at the source (the customer), typically as an addition to the sales price of the item(s) [ more LETTERS page 6 ]

Anderson said a central location is important for drive time for delivery of equipment as well as service calls if equipment needs to be fixed.

The Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority reminds residents and visitors that the Fourth of July, while a time to celebrate the country’s independence, is also a day of potential injuries and fires.

Fire officials offer tips to help have a safe Fourth of July: 1. Go see one of the area’s many free firework displays, including the Fourth of July Splash at Lake Meridian.

The Splash entertainment begins at noon and the fireworks show at 10 p.m.

2. Only purchase and discharge legal fireworks.

Keep in mind that many of the fireworks you buy on Native American reservations are not legal in Kent, Covington, and other cities.

3. Always have a garden hose, bucket of water, or fire extinguisher nearby while discharging fireworks.

4. Always discharge fireworks under adult supervision. Remember that fireworks and alcohol consumption do not safely mix.

5. When lighting fire-

works, wear eye protection and only discharge one firework at a time. Place discharged fireworks in a bucket of water.

6. Do not discharge fireworks where ground conditions are dry and the danger of fire is higher.

Also remember: 1. Fireworks go on sale June 28 but can only be discharged on July 4.

2. The city of Kent allows fireworks to be discharged between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. The city of Covington and unincorporated King County allow fireworks to be discharged between 9 a.m. and midnight.

3. Safety emphasis patrols by the Kent Police and Fire Departments will be out and illegal fireworks confiscated. Fines for illegal discharging/possession can exceed $1,000.

4. Illegal or unwanted fireworks can be dropped off at any Kent Fire Department fire station without penalty or fine.

5. Discharging fireworks on Kent and Covington city property (including parks) as well as on Kent School District properties is prohibited.

6. If you see or hear illegal fireworks being discharged, call 911.

Keep your baskets watered – but not too much Incorrect watering is the number one reason container gardens and hanging baskets fail to thrive. Most hanging baskets need water every single day – unless they are subjected to heavy rains or cold nights. You need to water until you see the drainage run out from the bottom of the pot. Don’t water a plant that looks wilted without first poking your finger into the soil.

Overwatering or poor drainage will rot the roots of any plant and the result is a plant that looks thirsty but is actually drowning. Poke your bare finger into the soil down to the first knuckle. If the soil is moist, don’t add more water – check to see that your potted plants are not being swamped by rain or sitting in a saucer of their own drainage water.

Dead-head – or get snippy Fuchsia baskets are especially sensitive to faded blooms. If you don’t remove the old flowers and the berry-like bead just behind the blossom of a fuchsia then the basket will stop flowering as it puts energy into seed formation. Snip back petunias, verbenias and other overly enthusiastic annuals in baskets or pots if they start to grow leggy.

Remove the spent blooms from geraniums by bending back the stem from where it is attached to the trunk of the geranium. You should feel a satisfying snap when you dead head geraniums.

Use your pinching fingers to remove faded blooms from other potted plants.

LOCAL PLAYERS EARN ALL-STATE HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL HONORS Kentwood High catcher Reese McGuire and Kentridge pitcher Jeremy Rabauliman each were chosen to the 2013 Class 4A All-State first team by the Washington State Baseball Coaches Association.

McGuire signed this month with the Pittsburgh Pirates, who drafted him in the first round of the Major League Baseball draft. He was the 14th overall picked.

Kentridge junior infielder Joe Wainhouse and Kentwood senior outfielder Tanner Wessling were named to the second team.

Eronemo returns to pool as swim coach

BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@covingtonreporter.com

These days Kentwood High graduate and swimming standout Courtney Eronemo can be found coaching on the pool deck or in class at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, where she is the assistant swim coach and is studying for her second degree.

Eronemo competed at the 2004 U.S. Swimming Olympic trials when she was 16 and graduated from Kentwood in 2006 after winning six state titles in six different events. She then attended the University of California at Berkeley where she studied biology and nutrition and swam for the Bears. Her main events were the individual medley and butterfly. She also competed at the 2008 Olympic trials.

“When I went on my recruiting trips, it was just the place I felt completely at home,” Eronemo said of how she decided on Berkeley.

“The coach wasn’t trying to sell anything and she really believed in making the swimmer better people, not just faster swimmers. I saw a lot of growth opportunity.”

In all the experiences she had at Berkeley, Eronemo said, the best part was the day-to-day life of school and training.

“My favorite moment is just the daily experi-

Seattle T-Birds release 2013-14 schedule The Kent-based Seattle Thunderbirds junior hockey team on Wednesday released their 2013-14 regular season schedule.

Former Kentwood High swim star Courtney Eronemo is an assistant swim coach at Pacific Lutheran University. COURTESY PHOTO ence,” Eronemo said. “Just the waking up early every morning and walking to practice and 20 girls jumping in the pool and training our butts off.”

Eronemo gravitated toward studying science because it intrigued her more than English or history courses.

“I knew I loved health and I loved science, that was the kind of the brain I had,” Eronemo said. “I wanted to be involved in health and fitness but on a more scientific level, so nursing was the ultimate goal.”

After finishing her career

in the pool and graduating from Berkeley, Eronemo returned home to Washington while she worked on hammering out the details of what she wanted to do next.

“I didn’t know what exactly I wanted to do and I knew I had a home and parents who were willing to support me until I figured out what I wanted to do,” Eronemo said.

The answer to that question came in pursuing a second bachelors degree, this time specifically in nursing at PLU. Right now she’s a year and a half in with a year and a half to go.

The T-Birds kick off the 2013-14 Western Hockey League regular season with the home opener against the 2013 League Champion Portland Winterhawks at 7:05 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21 at the ShoWare Center.

The 2013-14 season includes 14 games on Satur-

days, 10 games on Fridays, eight games on Tuesdays and four games on Sundays.

Seattle will face the Winterhawks six times at the ShoWare Center this upcoming season; with three of the games on a Friday and three played on a Saturday.

“I’ve always loved kids so pediatrics is probably the most appealing to me, but every rotation I’ve done so far I’ve loved and could see myself doing,” Eronemo said of what area of nursing she’d like to pursue.

Eronemo got into coaching at her dad’s suggestion after she knew she would be attending PLU. “I applied to PLU for school and I just got in right away and I was at a family dinner at my house and my dad was like, ‘I think they have a swim team, you should look up if they need any help.’,” she said. “So I just Google-searched PLU swimming and emailed the coach and by the next week I was on the coaching staff.”

This fall will be Eronemo’s third season coaching for the Lutes.

“This year at conference we had a phenomenal (meet),” Eronemo said. “Our men and our women’s team, anyone who was walking on deck with PLU, was telling everyone how great they did.”

The best part of coaching for Eronemo is seeing the pride and excitement the swimmers have when they achieve their goals.

“I love, love, watching their faces when they touch the wall,” Eronemo said. “I don’t even look up at the scoreboard. I love to watch their faces and just, like, they can’t even believe what they did.

That is the most memorable thing, their expressions.”

While Eronemo loves what she’s doing and the chance to give back to the sport that has been such a big part of her life and has meant so much to her, she sees graduation from PLU and pursuing a nursing career as what will likely be her exit from the sport.

“I think when I swam in high school and college I got so much from swimming and so coaching is giving me an opportunity to give that back,” Eronemo said. “I love that right now I’m able to help the swimmers that I coach find the love of swimming that I have found but I think that’s the end of the road. I’m giving back right now and then I’m ready to move on. I want a family and a nursing career.”

One of the biggest lessons Eronemo learned from her years involved in swimming is the value of relationships and doing what you love.

“I love swimming and the people that I’ve met through swimming are people that I’ll have in my life forever,” Eronemo said.

“And then also that if you love something and put everything into it that you have you can get whatever you want (out of it). There are so many opportunities within something like that.

I’m putting that into nursing now.”

Popular I-5 rival, the Everett Silvertips, will travel to the ShoWare Center to face the T-Birds five times,

including three games on a Saturday, one game on a Tuesday and one game on a Sunday.

Everyone should consider whether to sign a power of attorney. Without it, no one (not even a spouse) has authority to act for you. Guardianship may be required if decisions have to be made when you are unable to do so.

Sister Cities groups help teens explore world The Kent and Auburn Sister Cities Associations are hosting another group of teens ready to explore the world.

China, Japan, and Norway will receive 13 students total in July while students from those countries travel to Kent as well.

All students participating this year are first-time Sister Cities ambassadors with the exception of two students from Auburn traveling to Tamba, Japan a second time.

Upon return, all students will create and present a project documenting one aspect of their experience they appreciated the most. Although most of the students have traveled to other countries before, all are excited to spend a part of their summer vacation in another part of the world.

Yangzhou, China Haley Beavers, Gideon

Shenaya Birel (left) and Shannon Parmley will visit Norway as part of the Sister Cities program. MICHELLE CONERLY, Kent Reporter Driver and Anna Watson have already bonded, and they haven’t even left for China yet.

These Kentwood High School students didn’t know each other before submitting their applications to be Sister Cities ambassadors, but they’re already hyping each other up for the new experiences they’ll encounter abroad.

“You just get this high when you go to a new place,” Beavers said to Watson who’s travelled around

Vengadasalam emphasized communication as the key to accomplishing tasks.

“I believe in collaborating and building solid relationships with stakeholders to effectively link and improve policies, processes, and practices,” she said.

Vengadasalam works as a business and community affairs consultant and is a former marketing and internet solutions director at DeviMedia. Her current volunteer experience includes membership on The Seattle Foundation Small Grants Funds Advisory Team, City of Kent Mayor’s Advisory Team, and Community Center for Education Results.

Goers, who has lived in Kent for 13 years, believes she can apply the experience as the mother of three girls who

the United States but never as far as China.

Beavers participated in a tour around Europe in years past. Having seen what that continent has to offer, she’s ready to soak up every bit of China.

“It’s a totally different culture,” Beavers said. “I’m very adventurous (and) want to travel the world so it’s gonna be awesome.”

Driver participated in the same tour of Europe only at a different time. But his perspective of visiting

went through the Kent school system to the district.

“What I’ve noticed is a repetition of challenges and a circular approach to addressing concerns of the students and parents,” Goers said. “I want to apply a systematic business approach to addressing the challenges facing the district and positioning our students as life-long learners and accomplished contributors to society.

“As the fourth-largest school district in the state, Kent has an opportunity and an obligation to impact a great number of our future leaders. Forward thinking from elementary through high school with clear, measurable goals outlined in the strategic plan is the first step in positioning the district for ongoing sustainable growth.”

Goers is an assistant vice president and senior relationship manager with a community bank. She resides on the East Hill with her husband Allan. Her adult daughters all reside in Kent as well.

Goers had a kickoff campaign June 8 at a gathering hosted by Paul and Debbie Willis.

Elliott was raised in Renton and has

China has him looking toward the future.

“I want to be a programmer,” Driver said, “(and) I know China’s focus is more on technological stuff. I feel like it will just be a learning experience.”

Watson, who’s taken a road trip around the United States with her family, is excited to see how this international experience will change her once she returns.

“I’m hoping I become more confident,” Watson said. “(I’m hoping to) find out who I am by myself away from people I’ve been around since I was really little. Just traveling around with other kids is pretty crazy.”

What the trio is really excited about is the food they’ll get to try while in Yangzhou. Driver’s love of seafood will be satisfied while abroad while Beavers hopes to try some authentic Chinese dumplings.

All three Kentwood students hope to travel abroad again in the near future.

lived in Kent since 1978. He is a Kent cattle and crop grower and a board member of the King-Pierce Farm Bureau.

“I am a candidate because I want to help insure that Kent schools continue to provide a quality education to our children,” Elliott said in his candidate statement. “I am not convinced that administrative decisions like increased short days are the best for our students. We must focus the bulk of our resources in the classroom, where learning occurs.

“We need to maintain local control of this process, not hand it over to Washington, D.C. The duty of our schools is to teach our children core subjects and help them gain practical life skills. The future of our work force and a prosperous community depends on this. We face modern challenges, but that is no excuse to fail in providing this generation with the educational foundation they need.”

Elliott and his wife raised two children in the Kent school system, both graduates of Kent-Meridian High School.

Michael Thomas Schmitt, Maj (Ret), a man known for his sense of humor and ability to tell legendary stories and jokes peacefully passed away on June 20, 2013 with his wife Cindy and family by his side.

His battle with service related cancer has ended. He was born on February 18, 1942 in San Francisco, CA to parents Lionel and Geraldine Schmitt.

Besides his wife, Cindy, he is survived by six children; Lorelle (Dan-Prosser), Lisa (Prosser), and Michael Trevor (Suzie-NC) Schmitt and Joshua, Josiah (Megan), and Rachelle Moore (Brice) as well as six grandchildren; Kayell, Emma, Eva, Abigail, Hank Houston, and Jordan.

He leaves behind two brothers; Pete (Penny-Seattle) and Ronald (Sue-Puyallup) and two sisters; Susie (Ray-Post Falls, Id) and Judith (Bob-Roy). He also opened his house and generous heart to two additional ‘sons’: Sean, Keith, and welcomed Sara as an addition to his household.

Mike served in the US Army from 1961 until 1983. He then began his second career at the Boeing Company as a Human Factors Engineer for 29 years. His passions were: soccer (he was a referee, instructor, and assignor for PCSRA since 1989), drummer in the 60/70s band called GoldRush, and his cherry red Mustang convertible.

Mike will be joining his fellow servicemen at Tahoma National Cemetery in Maple Valley, WA. He will be sadly missed by all….

All the students heading to Tamba this summer know this is a trip of a lifetime. “Well just the experience of traveling overseas is enough to stick with you for the rest of your life,� said Heremaia Erickson, a student

at Mill Creek Middle School.

Sunnfjord, Norway Kent-Meridian’s Shenaya Birkel is no stranger to Europe.

Living in Stuttgart, Germany until she was 9 years old, Birkel got to travel around the continent and experience other European countries, but never Norway.

Now that the opportunity presented itself, she’s wasting no time to go back to the continent where she grew up. “I wanted to go back,�

Birkel said. “I know Europe has super pretty architecture and everything‌ (there’s just) something about Europe.â€?

Kentwood’s Shannon Parmley is looking at this in-

ternational experience from a different angle. Parmley’s been to the border of Canada and the border of Mexico so getting to go as far as Norway is an experience she’ll take with her when she graduates next spring. “I’d like to experience something different and open my eyes up to something different,� Parmley said. “(And) I’d like to have some experience to say I’ve done before I go to college.�

Although both girls are going into this adventure with limited knowledge and language skills, Birkel and Parmley can’t wait to take in all of Norway and all that will come with the experience. “I’m super excited,� Birkel said. “I’m counting down the days.�
