Artists who live two lives By ERICK BENGEL FOR COAST WEEKEND

feature story this week focuses on Arvi Ostrom, an Astoria man who owned and tended a bar in Uniontown while, unbeknown to his loved ones, he drew thousands of striking pictures before his death in 1995 (see Page 6). Ostrom’s grandson, a musician named Ken Carlson, said: “I don’t think a lot of people understand artists have to live two lives.” The notion of workaday

coast

folks cultivating an artistic alter ego stuck in my mind as I spent Sunday evening in a Cannon Beach park watching a man named Konrad Wert, a 40-year-old singer-songwriter from Beorne, Texas, shred the guitar, banjo and ﬁddle during a Tolovana Arts Colony concert. His music was breathless and heartfelt, the lyrics punctuated by staccato “Heys!” and “Ho’s!” and passionate, prelinguistic cries. Half the fun was the specta-

CLOSE TO HOME

What do they produce? They concoct stocks, sauces, stir-fries and soups. Roasts. Pasta. Fish, meats and vegetables. They bake and roast and sauté. At some point, nine months or better up the road, they graduate with a tool kit and credentials that make opportunities possible. The Job Corps helps the students find jobs. That is one of the missions. On this blustery day, the students cooked a three-coarse meal for the participants of this small conference. It was a fine achievement: a divine pasta salad, roasted chicken with a béchamel sauce and perfect vegetables, and a dessert the way grandmother prepared — she, in that modest farm house on the Clatsop Plains, back when there were sailing ships, not replicas. Badger stood by proudly until the students scampered back into the kitchen and polished the splendid stainless-steel equipment to a luster. There is little slack in his kitchen.

Sail on

FOR COAST WEEKEND

he Columbia River and dirty-gray rain clouds were bucking and swaying and gobbling up the distant horizon, the mastodon headlands ten miles downriver at Cape Disappointment. A firm southwest wind spoke of late spring. Nine ocean-going ships lay at anchor, swinging like giant clock hands as the tide mimicked the pulse of the moon — a Kwagulth moon, the Native moon of the peace dance. Sailing aboard the Hawaiian Chieftain, I felt strangely secure, and happy. We were under sail. The good captain, Gary Heinrich, barked against the wind. His messages were piggy-backed by crew members from bow to stern. Up went a second sail, the mizzen. A crisp breeze cracked the linen, and the vessel came around into the wind. She raced against the tide like a strong young bull. Two miles inland and along the Astoria shoreline, Rain City seemed to draw in a deep breath as the vessel sailed westerly. Folks stopped and watched. Certainly, they were stunned with awe. The ship is a gallant vessel, and embodies a spirit that extends long past the age of wooden sailing ships. Built in Maui in 1988, she joined her sister ship, the Lady Washington, in 2006 as an educational and training venture through the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority. The 104-foot ship sails into our waters once or twice a year. Along with the Lady Washington, she shares a time and space that we somehow envy — though, in fairness, sailing under a national flag in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (be it French, En-

The Hawaiian Chieftain at sea

glish, Spanish or American) was an occupation fraught with danger. The voyage was too short. The Chieftain circled the deep channel of the Lower Columbia and headed back to Tongue Point Job Corps. I would have loved to cross the river bar. “Never look a gift horse in the mouth,” my father used to say. Dad was normally right. The voyage was a Disney moment, carefully scripted for the awe-inspired tourist, of which I was one. We shot the cannon and watched a young seaman furl the sails. The big engine kicked in, and we soon sidled into port at Tongue Point.

The Job Corps

The Tongue Point Job Corps is a treasure in our community, a hands-on opportunity for youth to gather skills and venture forth with a shiny new meal card. Harley Badger guides students in his culinary program. I have served and prepared food for decades now. Badger’s dedication to food lore only enhanced my appreciation of the trials and aspirations of preparing a lovely plate of food. Badger is a conductor, his students the orchestra. His voice is kind, but the message is firm. Here, daily, the kids produce or fade away.

The voyage on the Hawaiian Chieftain was a highlight. I felt honored to be included. The ship offers a full glimpse of “Seven Years before the Mast” to grade school and high school students, and gawkers waiting on the docks at Westport, Astoria, Ilwaco and landing venues farther south. The young crew, many of them working part-time, is enthusiastic, energized and capable. What are they offering us: a voyage into what was, and will not be again? We know that the life of a seaman was hazardous, even when the enemy wasn’t shooting 25-pound iron balls in the short distances between stately vessels. Yet this is a glimpse into a slower way of life that dealt with the moods of nature, the storms and rages of winter at sea. The unpredictable gale of early spring or the hurricane in the Caribbean when the day started upon smooth blue water and even pearly skies. I venture that people lived differently then. And we feel that difference when the ship luffs out the sails and the proud vessel is moved by furtive winds. Back in the classroom, Badger is preparing lessons, checking inventory and issuing grades. His day is long. That happens with dedication. The students feel it. For many of these students, this educational opportunity provided by Job Corps is a launching pad for further education and, possibly, their careers. Like riding the spirit ship into the future, they, too, will come about. Before them is a great sea, and they travel together in a comparably small boat. Grab the tiller and point true and straight into tomorrow. CW

native who quietly produced thousands of works of art during his lifetime. Ostrom, who owned the Snug Harbor Tavern in Uniontown, passed away in 1995. While in hospice care, he had one last request. “He said, ‘Will you take care of my art for me?’ the day before he died,” said Ken Carlson, Ostrom’s grandson. Carlson, an artist and a musician himself, shared his grandfather’s interest in art, so naturally he agreed. But what Carlson ﬁgured would be a few hundred pieces turned out to be more than 10,000 that Ostrom left behind.

“At that time I didn’t really know what he had done,” Carlson said. “No one did.” In order to create so many pieces, Ostrom must have averaged about three a

Recently, he opened an exhibit, “Behind the Bar: The Folk Art of Arvi Ostrom and the Snug Harbor,” at the Clatsop County Historical Society’s Heritage Museum to display selections of Ostrom’s work.

collaborated with Astoria artist Darren Orange, who said “it’s really an honor” to be involved. Ostrom has been “finally given a voice and a place to show his work (by) being honored at this exhibition,” Orange said. “It’s inspiring for me as an artist to see the value the community puts on his work.”

Astoria Open Studios Tour 2017 On July 29 and 30, 37 artists — including 16 new ones — join the free annual event

By KAELIA NEAL

FOR COAST WEEKEND

he presence of arts continues to grow in Astoria, and local artists are opening their studios for the seventh consecutive year. Thirty-seven artists at 20 locations will be among the 2017 Astoria Open Studios Tour, taking place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, July 29 and 30. During this free, once-a-year weekend,

Judith Niland

artists offer a look inside their studios, giving patrons a chance to see where their art is made while watching live demonstrations. “These artists are reaching out to engage with the public,” said Annie Eskelin, second-year tour coordinator. “There’s a very diverse offer of styles and media.” There are famous artists and 16 artists new to the tour, according to Eskelin. Jewelry, ceramics, drawing, woodblock prints, photography and paper lights are among the pieces on display.

Some well-known artists participating include Chris Bryant, Dave McMacken, Peter Nevins and Noel Thomas, a local icon. Lucy Barna, Katie George, Audrey Long, Karina Andrews and Kim Rose Adams are among the artists new to the tour. Lâm Quảng and Kestrel Gates of HiiH Lights are participating for their third year. “We’re really excited to see all the people come out,” said Gates, who moved to Astoria with Quảng about four years ago. During the tour, Quảng will show how

paper is made and explain the lamp-making process. Quảng makes the paper lights out of cotton ﬁber and abaca while Gates does the paintings. The husband-wife team work on the designs together. “We’re inspired by the natural world and traditional lantern forms,” Gates said. Quảng and Gates also have work on view at Imogen Gallery.

Continued from Page 10 ‘From ordinary to un-ordinary’

Barna of Votive Handcrafted Elemental Jewelry will be joining the tour for the first time this year. “My works are contemporary and the designs are crafted using a lot of geometry, angles and natural patterns,” Barna said. “Each piece is entirely handcrafted and organic.” Barna likes to play with angles, even if it’s in subtle ways, such as making pieces asymmetric. “Asymmetry can really create an artful bend on something that might otherwise be very simple,” Barna said. “Or it takes it from ordinary to un-ordinary.” She works primarily with metals, such as sterling silver, bronze, 14 karat gold-filled and 18 karat gold. Barna said simple pieces can take her less than an hour to complete, while “statement” pieces can take up to a full day or even multiple days. Though this is not her first art tour, Barna said she is excited to be in the Astoria Open Studios Tour and see the many new artists. She is part of a team that is opening a new makers’ space downtown called “Astoria Makers,” where people will have access to high-end tools, education classes and community programming around all things creative. “It is a communal space for design, fabrication and education in craft,” she said. Eskelin took the Astoria Open Studios Tour as a spectator last year, and had a lot of fun having personal conversations with the artists, she said. She recommends that people not limit themselves to checking out only the kind of art they usually like: “Go to the others — venture out and have fun!” CW Maps of the tour are available at astoriavisualarts.org. The full tour guides can be picked up at RiverSea Gallery, Imogen Gallery, Old Town Framing, the Astoria and Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce and at most coffee shops in Astoria. The Coast Weekend pullout guide can also be used.

Review and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

very hour, at about five till, the Shelburne Inn’s grandfather clock emits a metallic clang. The clock, built in Glasgow by Robert Robertson in 1780, predates the Shelburne — Washington State’s longest continually running hotel, which began hosting guests in 1896 — by more than 100 years. “Every piece, every gear of that clock was made by hand,” beams Shelburne co-owner David Campiche. Most everything in the dining room and the historic Seaview hotel follows suit: From the frosty stained glass, to the light fixtures and furniture, to the ceramic flower pots on each table — almost all are handmade. A sense, not only of history, but of lasting, artistic craft abounds. Just stepping into the lobby is transportive. Over the bulging floors, nooks beckon — there are tales to be told. To the south is the pub; to the right, the parlor — named the “Inglenook” — and through another set of windowed doors, the intimate dining room. This review will focus on the dining room; to me, it and the pub are distinct entities. On my first visit, the Inglenook hosted a pianist twinkling on a baby grand. While his playing drifted into the dining room, the mood was rather hushed. Couples spoke in whispers and yet could still be overheard. Many conversations were inspired by the food. My second visit was far more lively. The loosening was due, in part, to the presence of Portland blues guitarist Terry Robb, who performed in the shadow of that

grandfather clock, his fingers gliding and bending with transcendent facility over the strings of his 1947 Martin guitar. Smooth, never rushing, he plucked tunes like John Fahey’s “Requiem for John Hurt,” as well as a number by Hurt himself. Clearly, Robb had put in his 10,000 hours of practice and then some. He was marvelous. But the evening’s gracious, reverent mood was also due to the presence of Campiche, who served as host and server during the rush. As dinner wound down, he cultivated a salon, delighting as a roundtable of well-fed artists and bourgeoisie held bubbly court. (Note: Campiche is a regular contributor to Coast Weekend and was not consulted for this review.) Along with the regular menu, dinner that evening included the first prix fixe meal under chef Geoff Gunn, who came aboard a few months prior. Before taking the over reins of the Shelburne’s kitchen, Gunn was chef de cuisine at Astoria’s esteemed Bridgewater Bistro. “There is nothing we can’t put on a plate or in a glass that can’t be found within 100 miles,” Gunn said in the Shelburne’s press announcement. That sentiment was realized in the $60 prix fixe menu Gunn con-

cocted to coincide with the Garden Tour taking place on the Long Beach Peninsula that weekend. Chef Gunn harvested the lion’s share of the produce for the evening’s special menu at Ilwaco’s Biocharm Farm. In keeping with the Garden Tour theme, Gunn incorporated herbs and flowers. Each dish had bright, newly picked edible flowers. And as I strolled out through the garden, it came into focus like a movie with a great reveal: There were the flowers I just ate — they came from the Shelburne’s own gardens! Two of the fixed menu’s three courses illuminated Gunn’s interest in pan-Asian flavors (he came up as a chef in Hawaii). The meal began with a nattily plated spring roll, with the requisite sauce swirls of soy glaze and Thai peanut sauce. While it was the freshest damn spring roll I’ve ever had — thanks to the Thai basil, kohlrabi and kale — it was mostly a lot of vermicelli and herbs. I longed for more protein; too many bites were without the furrowed, dainty Alaskan spot prawn. And therein is one of my few criticisms of the Shelburne: the appetizers need work. The regular menu’s choices, like asparagus and fries (even if they come with duck fat), were pricey and, in some case, unenticing. Chef Gunn has room to grow here. Dashi — with seared albacore, broccoli, chanterelles, greens and

rice in a subtle, mushroom-y broth — was the fixed menu’s main course. And if I were a professional athlete with the bank account to match, this is how I’d eat day-today: lean, mean and local. The tuna steaks were seared to form a divine salty, crisp crust, while still buttery and near-raw in the center (some more so than others). A bed of lightly seasoned, perfectly cooked rice hidden under the greens made the meal slyly substantial. Besides the crust, the best bite of the dashi was the vivid orange flower that adorned it. Within the center of its leafy, earthy core were little capsules that gushed with sweetness. The dashi appealed as much to outputs as inputs. As opposed to death-row decadence, this was healthy, thoughtful eating — the kind of meal one bounds or floats away from, rather than shuffling with heavy eyelids. It had, in just two courses, recalibrated my palate. Such refinement was rewarded with dessert: a guomi berry and kirschwasser crème brûlée. The sudden reintroduction of fats, sugars and creams came on like a tidal wave. The shell, however, was a tad glassy and overdone. I enjoyed the fresh cherry and whipped cream topping more than the crème brûlée itself. On another trip, I tried the Roasted Maple Leaf Farms Duck Breast ($30), which featured a glaze of Gunn’s creation that I found deeply, vexingly pert and very much

the star of the dish. It took repeated questions to discern what my palate couldn’t in the cherry-pomegranate glaze: chipotle peppers. (Gunn developed the recipe while at Bridgewater.) The duck medallions themselves were like the tuna: some — the majority, in fact — were perfect, but not without variation. The Blueberry Dutch Baby dessert ($9), though, was absolutely unassailable. It pitted a sizzling, still-cooking blueberry pancake in a small cast-iron pan against a cup of cooling, honey cardamom, goat-cheese based ice cream (that incorporated chèvre from one favorite producers in the area: Skamakowa Farmstead Creamery). From the cake and fruits vs. the creams, to the heat vs. the soothing freeze, down to the visuals — playing square vs. circle — the execution was perfect, the coming together of contrast. While I lingered on dessert, the old grandfather clock chimed for a second time that evening. It made me aware of time in the present, the meal’s luxurious, leisurely pace. If time is how you spend it, then a meal that sees the clock strike more than once is spending it pretty well. CW

Rare Dali, Picasso, Warhol paintings on exhibition, auction MCMINNVILLE — An art exhibition that includes rare pieces by Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol will take place at the Lawrence Art Gallery (19700 Oregon Highway 18) Wednesday through Friday, July 26 through 28. An auction will follow on Saturday, July 29. Many of the pieces come from the prestigious collection of Pierre Argillet, Dali’s longtime friend and confidante, and from the collection of the Royal Medici family of Italy. Also included in the threeday exhibit are important investment-quality jewelry and limited production designer

pieces, plus large and rare GIA diamonds. The Pierre Argillet collection is one of the most authen-

ticated collections of Dali’s work throughout his career. The Royal Medici Collection originated with the de Medici Dynasty, which launched the Italian Renaissance. “The Medici name is associated with unparalleled historical contributions to art, politics, banking, cuisine, medicine, accounting, philanthropy, commerce, geography, agriculture, religion, textiles and fashion,” organizers said in a release. “The current descendant and heir, Prince Lorenzo, is a philanthropist, international keynote speaker, television personality and artist.”

Continued from Page 6 Ostrom’s artwork is “kind of a microscope of Astoria history,” said Mac Burns, executive director of the historical society. “I think it is an amazing collection. The fact that it’s all in one collection still is incredible.” Ostrom’s art ranges from sketches and paintings, to wood carvings and birthday cards. Carlson said if you really look at the paintings while holding them at a particular angle, hidden faces appear in clouds and water. “He’s drawing architecture. He’s drawing boats. He’s drawing people,” Orange said. “That’s very meaningful to me as a viewer. It’s like he’s capturing time with his drawing.”

Living two lives

Ostrom was born July 13, 1904, in Astoria and graduated from Astoria High School, where he played basketball and football. He

enrolled at the University of Oregon to play football but, when he could no longer afford school, began to work in a sawmill while playing club basketball. Later, Ostrom became the owner of the Snug Harbor, a saloon that was also a restaurant, coffeehouse and a place to display his artwork. Carlson said that, at one point, Ostrom’s bar was almost shut down because people were boycotting him for not serving to intoxicated people. But customers continued visiting the Snug Harbor to see Ostrom’s artwork. “His art helped his business survive,” Carlson said. To this day, Carlson said they are finding more of Ostrom’s work. Family members could each have around 20 pieces of art. Carlson went exploring in his aunt’s attic and found Ostrom’s carvings. Ostrom dedicated most of his life to making art. Carl-

son said he has work that his grandfather made from the 1920s to the 1990s. “He was drawing all the way up until he died.” Carlson laughed as he recalled the time he drew with black crayon in grade school, which caused the teacher to “freak out” and tell his mother something was wrong with him. Looking back, he believes it was because he watched his grandfather draw with chalk. He remembered thinking: “That’s what Gramps does.” As years passed, Carlson would visit his grandfather often and play music for him. He said he has written songs about Ostrom’s art, a huge influence in his life. “I was really close to him,” Carlson said. “I always appreciated what he did, and he understood that I was just always interested in what he was doing.” Carlson has made it a goal to show Ostrom’s work because he knows “how hard it is to be an artist,” he said. “I don’t think a lot of people understand artists

Continued from Page 3 teacher. His act, Possessed by Paul James (named after his grandfather, Paul, and father, James), supplements his stipend from the school district. “To live simple, but to live with enough, you do have to have two types of income as a teacher, in Texas especially,” he told me after the show. So Wert records, tours and writes music with his wife and two young sons. But, in conservative Texas, “moonlighting, working two jobs as a teacher, is really frowned upon,” he said. His stage persona arose from a need to keep those worlds separate — not least because parents may not want to know how Mr. Wert was spending his free time. “A parent who has a child diagnosed with cerebral palsy or a traumatic brain injury seeing their teacher getting s--tfaced on stage with homies (is something) they’re not so keen on,” he said with a chuckle. So he lived a separate life,

drawing regular income from his Monday-through-Friday job, and a little extra from weekend shows. Wert said he has found a kind of balance, though, since he started using his act to encourage people to volunteer in their public schools, to reach out “for families that might feel isolated, or for kids that need more avenues, and they always need more avenues” — that is, since he chose to let his professional life inform his artistic one. After a draining day at a demanding job, he tries to find time to decompress by writing music, often about his teaching experiences — just as Arvi Ostrom spent decades sketching the patrons he served at Uniontown’s Snug Harbor Tavern and the ships he observed from the saloon. And just as, elsewhere on the North Coast, bartenders act in community theater, firefighters write poetry, restaurateurs sculpt and receptionists paint — living two lives, and, sometimes, allowing the vantage point of one life to enrich the other.

“Dynamic Aging” By Katy Bowman Propriometrics Press 262 pp $16.95

Changing how you move can change how you feel Let’s face it: Technological advances have led most of us into a more sedentary lifestyle. With the world at our ﬁngertips (and on the screen in front of us), why bother going to the grocery store, the library or museum when we can just type in our desires? The other day I saw an ad for a multipurpose, voice-activated gadget; now you don’t even need to lift a ﬁnger, because you can simply tell a robot to do just about everything for you. I fear that “WALL-E,” that 2008 Pixar movie, may have gotten it right when it

envisioned a future in which humankind has evolved into super-obese blobs. But that scenario isn’t going to happen if Katy Bowman has her way. In fact, the Sequim-based biomechanist and entrepreneur is a dynamo when it comes to encouraging folks to get off their duffs and get moving. Her Nutritious Movement enterprise has gone global, and it includes movement classes, workshops, podcasts and retreats. Meanwhile, her Propriometrics Press is publishing best-selling and award-win-

Dock [dɒk] noun 1. a jetty or pier or wharf, often wooden, that projects out over a body of water and is used for the landing and moorage of boats and the loading and unloading of materials. Docks can be either permanent or impermanent and can be fastened to the sea bed or the bottom of a lake, river or bay by pilings. They can also be constructed to ﬂoat by utilizing ﬂoatation devices, such as barrels, in combination with some type of anchorage 2. the open waterway be-

verb 5. to moor a ship 6. to attach two objects,

such as mobile device to a desktop computer or to join two spacecrafts in outer space 7. to penalize through deduction of either points, money or time

Origin:

The noun referring to a physical structure erected for the mooring of ships enters English in 1552 from the Middle Dutch or Middle Low German docke. The original meaning, ﬁrst recorded in 1513, referred to the hollow or impression left by a ship

man calls them “the Goldeners” — all are older than 75. Joan Virginia Allen, Shelah M. Wilgus, Lora Woods and Joyce Faber give this book impressive credibility. Each of them originally came to Bowman with an assortment of complaints — a torn meniscus, back pain, chronic constipation and restless leg syndrome among them. Since enrolling in Bowman’s program, all of them have moved signiﬁcantly beyond those problems, even managing to avoid what once seemed to be inevitable surgery.

run aground. Use as a verb followed shortly in the decade of the 1510s and much later evolved into computer and space program jargon. Its history as a verb meaning “deduction” relates back to the Middle English verb and noun dok, which referred to the act of lobbing off an animal’s tail as well as to the tail itself. “The first ever ‘Shop the Dock’ tours in Clatsop County highlighted Warrenton’s seafood offerings. Despite the area’s long history of fishing and seafood processing — and even though the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean are right there — how to actually lay hands on freshly caught seafood can be a mystery for many residents without ties to the commercial fishing industry.” — Katie Frankowicz, “Shop the Dock debuts in Warrenton,” The Daily Asto-

Now these Goldeners are featured on the cover of this book, exuding health and conﬁdence as they stride together up a trail. On the pages inside, they share their inspirational stories and the exercises that helped them overcome the problems that seem to bedevil so many people as they age. Although “Dynamic Aging” is aimed at readers ages 50 and above, it can be helpful to anyone who wishes to improve their balance and mobility. Bowman, too, believes that technology has reduced our need to move and says, “It’s very likely that the instability you are feeling is not due to your age, but to how long you haven’t been challenging your balance.” From feet to ﬁngertips, the exercises she provides don’t require any fancy equip-

ment, although Bowman does advocate for shoes with minimal heels, ﬂexible soles and a wide toe box. In fact, she encourages people to go barefoot when they can, noting that many kinds of footwear prevent people from using all the muscles in their feet. There is no magic wand here — effort is required — but Bowman and the Goldeners demonstrate how to incorporate these exercises into your everyday life. What a gift to be able to restore movement you thought you had lost for good!

Ochre sea star Lacking blood (not to mention a brain), it lives by pumping seawater through a complex vascular system, engaging its own lymphatic processes to continually adjust the chemistry of the water — a technique that remains one of the beautiful mysteries of sea star biology. A voracious predator, with two stomachs and a special taste for bivalves, Pisaster’s eating habits seem like they belong to a B-grade horror monster: Secreting a glue-like substance from the tubed feet that cover its underside, it cements its rays to the shell of its victim, forcibly prying it apart. Then it regurgitates its own stomach, shooting it inside the trapped creature, where it releases a digestive enzyme that quickly turns its prey into a kind of liquefied soup. Strong ligaments then help pull the stomach back into the sea star, where the delectable fluid becomes available for the second stage of digestion. Strangely enough, it is precisely these unruly table manners that have secured

onsidered the signature species of the Pacific tide pool, Pisaster ochraceus reigns over the intertidal zone, clinging to every rocky shore from Alaska all the way to Panama. Known more commonly as the ochre sea star or purple starfish, this fiverayed favorite is actually not a fish at all, but belongs instead to a unique class of animals called echinoderms, meaning “spiny-skinned,” and includes other nautical celebrities like the sand dollar, sea cucumber and sea urchin. Aside from its characteristic deep purple, this sea star is also found in shades of red, orange, brown or yellow, with some individuals displaying a mix of colors. One of the longest-living stars to inhabit the ocean, it can grow to a diameter of up to 18 inches and will survive in an ideal climate for almost 20 years.

Pisaster’s place as a keystone species of the ocean environment: When its insatiable appetite is allowed to keep other species in check, the entire ecosystem thrives with diversity. Beginning in 2013, sea star populations up and down the Pacific coast began to experience massive dieoffs, with stars contracting a terrible virus-related illness known as sea star wasting syndrome. The disease, present in the environment since at least the 1970s, causes lesions, then a decay of bodily tissues, followed by full disintegration and, finally, death. Similar die-offs have occurred in the past, but never with such magnitude or geographic breadth. In 2015, an incredible

surge in the populations of juvenile sea stars created hope for a rebound, but sadly, celebrations of the stars’ recovery were premature: Today, more than 20 species of sea stars, including the beloved Pisaster ochraceus, continue to die from the disease, and at a rate that has researchers and scientists rather alarmed. A 2016 study linked the widespread

disease, which has dropped Pacific Northwest sea star populations by 75 percent overall, to the warming of the ocean caused by human-induced climate change. In our local tide pools, where the colorful stars once flourished by the hundreds,

populations have dwindled to just a few. To learn more about them, including how you might help their plight by becoming a citizen-scientist, visit seastarwasting. org, or join the excellent team efforts of the Haystack Rock Awareness Program in Cannon Beach. CW
