Olheiser: ‘I enjoy helping other people’ Turner: ‘I feel like a
huge part of dealing
with climate change is
educating other people’

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.”

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

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.”
