A7 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, APRIL 22, 2019 Olheiser: ‘I enjoy helping other people’ Turner: ‘I feel like a huge part of dealing with climate change is educating other people’ Continued from Page A1 And, like many rural fi re districts, fi nding and keep- ing staff to do it all is a con- stant uphill battle. But despite the job’s challenges, Olheiser said to this day he is excited about what he does. “I don’t know if there’s anything I don’t enjoy about this job,” he said. After he retires at the end of June , Olheiser will move to the Tri-Cities in Washing- ton. Other than playing with his grandchildren, his retire- ment plans are to do “abso- lutely nothing” if he doesn’t have to. While Olheiser won’t always miss waking up to emergency calls in the mid- dle of the night, it will be diffi cult leaving the com- munity he has come to love and protect. “I enjoy helping other people,” he said. “I’m happy I’ve been able to do that.” Continued from Page A1 Brenna Visser/The Daily Astorian Paul Olheiser, the chief of the Knappa Fire District, is retiring after 28 years. Waikiki fl ood concerns spur push for Hawaii shore protection By CALEB JONES Associated Press HONOLULU — Hawaii’s iconic Waikiki Beach could soon be under- water as rising sea levels caused by climate change overtake its white sand beaches and bustling city streets. Predicting Honolulu will start experiencing frequent fl ooding within the next 15 to 20 years, state lawmakers are trying to pass legislation that would spend millions for a coastline protection program aimed at defending the city from regular tidal inundations. The highest tides of recent years have sent sea- water fl owing across Waikiki Beach and onto roads and sidewalks lining its main thoroughfare, and interac- tive maps of the Hawaiian Islands show that many parts of the state are expected to be hit by extensive fl ood- ing, coastal erosion and loss AP Photo/Caleb Jones A man and his son watch as waves crash off sea cliff s along the southeast shore of Oahu as Hurricane Lane approaches Honolulu in 2018. of infrastructure in coming decades. That’s an alarming sce- nario for a state where beach tourism is the primary driver of the economy, leading some lawmakers to insist that planning for rising tides should start now. “The latest data on sea level rise is quite scary and it’s accelerating faster than we ever thought possible,” said state Rep. Chris Lee, a Democrat and lead author of a bill calling for the cre- ation and implementation of the shoreline protection plan. The project would focus on urban Honolulu but act as a pilot program for other coastal communities around the state. While Hawaii is rarely subjected to direct hurricane hits, Lee’s bill says warmer oceans will increase that risk by creating “more hurricanes of increasing intensity” — and estimates the impact of a major hurricane making landfall at $40 billion. “The loss of coastal prop- erty and infrastructure, increased cost for storm damage and insurance, and loss of life are inevitable if nothing is done, which will add a signifi cant burden to local taxpayers, the state’s economy, and way of life,” says Lee’s bill, which is sim- ilar to action taken by New York City after a storm surge from Superstorm Sandy led to $19 billion in damage in 2012. The Hawaii measure pro- poses sinking $4 million into the program’s development over the next two years. The bill also seeks more research into a carbon tax that might raise funds and lower the state’s dependence on fossil fuels. summer with com- mon murres doing sea- bird research at Oregon State University’s Hat- fi eld Marine Science Cen- ter in Newport. She will be part of a group monitoring reproduction in common murres, looking to build a data set of reproductive behavior and success for murre colonies at Yaquina Head, home to a diverse number of seabirds. The research she will be involved in will also look at ways that sea birds are indicators of oceanic and coastal ecosystem health, Turner said. It will be her fi rst foray into this kind of fi eld work, and a step toward what she hopes will be a career in the natural resource sector. Turner grew up in Cal- ifornia. Her grandpar- ents lived in the middle of nowhere , a place where mountains and high desert met. From an early age, the outdoors were familiar territory. But when Turner started going to college she thought she wanted to work in childhood devel- opment. That turned into music business. Then into “teaching in general.” But she was also traveling and trying on experiences. She gets antsy, she said. She moves often and tries new things. She lived in Seattle for several years and created a fi lm company, fi lming musicians and concerts. There was more traveling. She went on a road trip around the United States. She moved back to San Diego. She remembered that she hated living in San Diego. In 2013, she was work- ing at a pizza place that happened to be next door to the offi ce for the Mojave Desert Land Trust. As she got to know the people at the land trust, she started to feel like, “I’m just kind of wasting my time.” “I just wanted to do something that felt valu- able to me,” she said. So she got a job at the land trust. But she has long been drawn to water and moved, almost on a whim, to the North Coast at the end of 2016 — a switch that has helped her as she’s pursued her degree and also put her in a good position for the work at the Hatfi eld Marine Sci- ence Center this summer. Living on the Ore- gon C oast and fi nding her community in Astoria has only made Turner more curious to examine the effects of climate change . She’s found she is good at taking in diffi cult informa- tion and breaking it down. “I don’t feel like a sci- entist, yet,” she said. She will graduate this winter and is considering grad- uate school. “But I can communicate. … I feel like a huge part of deal- ing with climate change is educating other people around you.” True, it’s easy to be a pessimist right now. “I’m kind of a pessi- mist and I feel we’ve done a lot of damage,” Turner said. There are small things people can do: They can choose not to use straws. They can recycle. But all these small things, what do they do? The issues are not only large but also complex, interconnected, diverse. “It’s kind of what keeps me going back to school,” Turner said, “because the more I learn, the more I can do to educate myself and other people.” CLASSIFIEDINDEX classifieds NOTICES MARINE RENTALS Special Notices ............................. 104 Boats for Sale................................. 251 Public Notices ............................... 107 Boating Parts & Accessories ..... 254 Announcements .......................... 110 Boats Wanted ................................ 257 Boat Trailers ................................... 260 PERSONALS Marine Supplies & Equip. .......... 266 Lost & Found ................................. 181 Boat/RV Storage ........................... 269 Personals ........................................ 184 Fund-raisers ................................... 188 RVs & Trailers RVs & Travel Trailers ............ 301-307 AUTOMOTIVE Campers, Utility Trailers .... 310-313 Antiques/Classic Vehicles ......... 201 Automobiles .................................. 204 REAL ESTATE SUVs/Trucks .......................... 207-210 Open Houses ................................. 501 4WD .................................................. 213 For Sale ................................... 504-513 Vans .................................................. 216 Lots & Acreage .............................. 516 ATVs/Motorcycles ........................ 219 Income Property .......................... 519 Truck/Auto Parts .......................... 222 Manufactured Homes ................ 522 Detailing ......................................... 225 Commercial Property ................. 525 Tires & Wheels ............................... 228 Real Estate Wanted ..................... 531 A small-town newspaper with a GLOBAL OUTLOOK 107 Public Notices PUBLIC AUCTION Dooger’s Restaraunt in Warrenton June 8th, 2019 Saturday at 10am Preview at 9am Everything has to go!
