SEABIRD SUMMER ON<br />

THE OREGON COAST<br />

A California brown pelican glides effortlessly through the air, its wings span more than 6 feet across,<br />

beating slow and powerfully, yet moving at surprising speed and capable of carrying it thousands of miles<br />

atop coastal winds. The bird’s profile is distinct as it descends, its long bill angled toward the water below,<br />

eyes fixed on a swarm of silvery scales beneath the surface. This hunting technique, called plunge-diving,<br />

is shared by only a few select species — with the brown pelican among the most proficient. It can dive<br />

from as high as 70 feet, utilizing the air sacs beneath its skin to cushion its fall and ensure buoyancy for a<br />

quick return to the surface with its prey.<br />

As it breaches the surface, the impact stuns an unsuspecting fish and the pelican scoops it up, the thin<br />

skin of its bill pouch expanding with the bulk. Upon surfacing, the bird tilts its bill to drain the water,<br />

then swallows its prey whole.<br />

The scene is repeated countless times over the<br />

Pacific throughout the summer months. But as<br />

the weather shifts, this pelican, like thousands of<br />

others, will head south, leaving behind noticeable<br />

gaps in Oregon’s seascapes and skies.<br />

Brown pelicans are seen on the Oregon coast<br />

from spring through fall, taking advantage of the<br />

summer sardine spawn and the seasons’ other<br />

bounties. While some individuals are year-round<br />

residents in their nesting range, many of these<br />

birds are well-worn travelers, having migrated as<br />

many as two thousand miles to reach their postbreeding<br />

season home. Some even go beyond<br />

Oregon’s state line, flying as far north as British<br />

Columbia. Then, as winter approaches, they return<br />

south to warmer climes. Breeding pelicans nest<br />

in California and Mexico, some remaining there<br />

throughout the year. Still, many non-breeding<br />

juveniles and adults form large flocks, once again<br />

taking wing to travel along the coasts of North<br />

and South America.<br />

California brown pelicans are just one of many<br />

bird species that depart for the winter. The tufted<br />

puffins inhabiting Cannon Beach’s Haystack<br />

Rock head out to sea, as do the common murres<br />

packed shoulder-to-shoulder atop Yaquina<br />

Head’s Colony Rock. During the winter, the only<br />

way to see such birds is by going out on the open<br />

ocean — or you can make a much easier trek to<br />

the Oregon Coast Aquarium. It’s open-air, walkthrough<br />

aviary mirrors the rocky outcroppings<br />

that seabirds so prefer. Here, visitors can watch<br />

tufted puffins, horned puffins, common murres,<br />

and pigeon guillemots fly over, dive below, and<br />

splash passersby.<br />

No matter the season, visitors of all ages can<br />

flock to the aquarium’s Seabird Aviary to share<br />

the seabird experience without ever leaving dry<br />

land.<br />

OREGON COAST<br />

AQUARIUM<br />

BEGINS<br />

GALLERY<br />

RENOVATIONS,<br />

EXPANSION<br />

Major renovations to the Oregon Coast<br />

Aquarium (OSAq) indoor galleries have begun,<br />

paving the way for exciting improvements and<br />

new additions.<br />

Beginning Sept. 5, 2023, OCAq’s Sandy<br />

Shores and Rocky Shores galleries will close<br />

to the public, but the Coastal Waters gallery<br />

will remain open until a later date, allowing<br />

visitors to continue viewing the gallery’s colorful<br />

tropical fish, always-intriguing sea slugs, and<br />

the ever-mesmerizing motions of sea nettles.<br />

In the meantime, visitors can still enjoy new<br />

exhibits, improved traffic flow, and updated<br />

interpretive signage in both English and Spanish<br />

as renovations continue. Alongside the existing<br />

galleries, the aquarium will also dedicate a corridor<br />

entirely to sea jellies, including Oregon-native<br />

moon jellies, Indo-Pacific blue blubber jellies, and<br />

more of the otherworldly invertebrates.<br />

Visitors will continue to have access to the rest<br />

of the aquarium’s exhibits and features, including<br />

its recently introduced Discovery Zone, the<br />

freshly remodeled Moon Jelly Café, and the kidtested-and-approved<br />

Nature Play Area. During<br />

renovation, many of the indoor galleries’ residents<br />

will be relocated to OCAq’s Passages of the Deep<br />

exhibit, an underwater tunnel snaking through<br />

three ocean environments, allowing returning<br />

guests to visit with their favorite finned friends.<br />

Renovations for all three galleries are expected<br />

to be completed for summer 2024, with the Rocky<br />

Shores gallery featuring upgraded habitats, and<br />

Sandy Shores outfitted with a newly remodeled<br />

touch pool to increase its capacity and provide<br />

even more opportunities for visitors to meet<br />

and greet sea stars, urchins, and other intertidal<br />

creatures. However, the greatest change will take<br />

place in the former Coastal Waters gallery, now<br />

reimagined as Connected Coasts. The new gallery<br />

will highlight how the Pacific Ocean connects<br />

the Oregon coast to incredibly diverse animals,<br />

coastal habitats and estuaries.<br />

These projects comprise the second part of<br />

OCAq’s multi-phase Capital Campaign for<br />

improvement. As a non-profit organization,<br />

ticket sales, memberships, and donations support<br />

our progress, the care of its animals, and crucial<br />

conservation and rehabilitation efforts.<br />

Completion of these projects is thanks to<br />

contributions from major donors, including the<br />

State of Oregon, Al Gleason, M.J. Murdock<br />

Charitable Trust, James and Shirley Rippey<br />

Family Foundation, Maybelle Clark Macdonald<br />

Fund, John & Nancy Dennis Family, Jim<br />

Pattison/Roth’s Fresh Markets, Marta & Ken<br />

Thrasher, Christine & David Vernier, Miller<br />

Family Holdings and Aquarium Volunteers.<br />

THE KITCHEN WILD<br />

PHOTOS AND RECIPES BY KATIE WILEY<br />

OREGON<br />

BLACKBERRIES<br />

Wild Oregon blackberries are arguably one of the most anticipated<br />

summer berries. Those plump, deliciously sweet berries can be found all<br />

over the world. Did you know that Oregon is the number one producer of<br />

blackberries in the United States? Almost all of Oregon's blackberries are<br />

grown west of the Cascade Mountains in the Willamette Valley. In fact, over<br />

90% of frozen blackberries found in all grocery stores are from right here in<br />

our home state.<br />

Oregon blackberries aren’t just highly anticipated every year because<br />

of their extraordinary flavor and easy accessibility, they’re also one of the<br />

world’s most nutritious berries, rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese.<br />

Blackberries support immune system function, reduce inflammation, and<br />

promote a healthy cardiovascular system. Blackberries also have an ORAC<br />

(Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score of 5,905, making them one of<br />

the highest antioxidant foods shown to exhibit anticancer effects. Blackberries<br />

are also great for the waistline with only 62 calories per serving and 32% of<br />

our daily fiber intake in just one cup of berries.<br />

So get out there and harvest these miraculous berries while you can because<br />

the season for Oregon blackberries is only here for a short time.<br />

MOUNTAIN<br />

BLACKBERRY ICE<br />

CREAM PIE<br />

For the blackberry topping:<br />

3 cups blackberries<br />

3/4 cup brown sugar<br />

2tsp lemon juice<br />

3 tsp vanilla<br />

2 ½ tsp. Real fruit Classic Pectin<br />

Directions:<br />

In a nonstick saucepan, add blackberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, and<br />

vanilla and cook over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes until they<br />

soften and release their juices.<br />

Add pectin then continue to cook for another 3 minutes.<br />

Allow to cool completely in the refrigerator before adding on top of ice<br />

cream.<br />

For the crust:<br />

8-9 graham crackers<br />

2 Tbs. granulated sugar<br />

1/4 cup salted butter<br />

1/8 tsp. cinnamon<br />

Directions:<br />

Preheat oven to 350°<br />

In a food processor add graham crackers, sugar, and cinnamon and pulse<br />

OC WAVES • VOL 4.01<br />

until a crumb consistency. Add melted butter and pulse again until fully<br />

combined.<br />

Press firmly into a pie dish then bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until<br />

graham cracker crust begins to brown.<br />

To assemble Mountain Blackberry Ice Cream Pie:<br />

I used Umpqua’s Mountain Blackberry Revel ice cream but you could use<br />

your favorite blackberry ice cream or even vanilla would do in a pinch. Allow<br />

ice cream to slightly soften for easier spreadability.<br />

Spread ice cream into cooled graham cracker crust. Place in freezer to<br />

harden.<br />

Layer premade and cooled blackberry jam on top of ice cream. Place<br />

blackberries around the edges of the pie (optional) and enjoy! If making<br />

ahead of time, place back into the freezer until ready to serve.<br />

TARTS<br />

For Jam<br />

3/4 cup brown sugar<br />

2 tsp lemon juice<br />

3 tsp vanilla<br />

2 1/2 tsp. Real fruit Classic Pectin<br />

20<br />

Add pectin then continue to cook for another 3 minutes.<br />

Allow to cool completely in the refrigerator before making pop tarts.<br />

For Pop Tarts<br />

Ingredients:<br />

1 box pre-rolled pie crust (2 crusts per box)<br />

1 cup blackberry jam<br />

A small dish of water (for sealing pie crusts)<br />

Blackberry Icing:<br />

1 cup powdered sugar<br />

2 ½ - 3 Tbs. milk<br />

1 1/2 Tbs. blackberry jam<br />

1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract<br />

Directions:<br />

Preheat oven to 450°<br />

Lay a sheet of parchment on a baking sheet.<br />

Unroll the crust onto a floured cutting board or flat surface and roll with a<br />

rolling pin to flatten. Using a rectangular cookie cutter or sharp knife, cut as<br />

many pieces as approx. 3” by 4” rectangles as you can from each crust (I got 6<br />

rectangles from each crust).<br />

Lay out 6 rectangles on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Add 1 ½ Tbs.<br />

of blackberry jam. Brush the edges with water (I just dip my fiber in water<br />

and gently wet the edges) and then place another rectangle on top of the<br />

rectangle with the jam. Gently press the edges to seal and then using a fork,<br />

crimp the edges.<br />

Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.<br />

Once cooled, whisk together blackberry icing ingredients and spread over<br />

each Pop Tart. Enjoy!<br />

Veteran tuna hunter Mark Isaac found this bullet-shaped albacore tuna, built by nature for speed, 30 miles west of the tiny port of Depoe Bay. Photo by Rick Beasley<br />

FAST AND<br />

FURIOUS!<br />

Albacore tuna deliver<br />

non-stop action<br />

A fresh dawn breeze carried the faint aromas of<br />

coffee and diesel aboard a dozen boats jockeyed<br />

into the lineup at “The Hole,” this tiny port’s<br />

notorious gateway to the Pacific Ocean.<br />

Amid the sharp blare of warning horns, charter<br />

vessels and party boats of all sizes slipped through<br />

the rocky gap and roared to full throttles, fanningout<br />

due west for some of the most exciting fishing<br />

at the Oregon coast: albacore tuna!<br />

The bullet-shaped beauties travel in schools<br />

30-to-50 miles off the harbors of Newport and<br />

Depoe Bay, where anglers depart on 12-hour<br />

expeditions marked by explosive strikes and<br />

teeth-rattling fights described as “hot action” by<br />

a veteran tuna hunter. Added another rodsman,<br />

“They hit so hard it feels like they’re gonna’ break<br />

your pole!”<br />

BY RICK BEASLEY | OUTDOOR CORRESPONDENT<br />

For most deep-sea anglers, albacore tuna<br />

represent the next level in fishing, with thrilling<br />

hook-ups and the potential for uninterrupted<br />

action. Historically, though, tuna fishing off<br />

Oregon was a rare specialty for a handful of<br />

charter operators. Then, around the year 2000,<br />

a new generation of young, adventure-minded<br />

fishers set fire to the sport. According to state<br />

fish and game records, the 2019 sport albacore<br />

season saw 102,510 tuna landed by 15,311 angler<br />

trips – the most albacore ever recorded from the<br />

recreational fishery.<br />

Called “longfins” by old-timers, the wide-eyed<br />

Charleys first appear around the end of June<br />

where they are found in bathtub-warm, clearblue<br />

water. Traveling in single-species schools,<br />

the action can be fast and furious until the last<br />

strike in October. The warmer surface waters also<br />

yield exotic and surprising catches of bluefin and<br />

yellowtail tuna, dorado, Pacific pomphret and<br />

striped marlin.<br />

The young tuna caught off the Oregon coast<br />

are just starting their cross-Pacific journey and are<br />

three to five years old, weighing between 12 and<br />

Usually taken on a 10 mph surface troll with plastic<br />

tuna clones (above), most any bait you can muster<br />

will do for ravenous tuna who can rip the rod from an<br />

unprepared angler.<br />

30 pounds. Usually taken on a 10 mph surface troll with plastic tuna clones<br />

or cedar plugs, most any bait you can toss overboard will do for the ravenous<br />

tuna. Nothing less than 50 lb. braided line is recommended for these wild<br />

brawlers, who can rip the rod from an unprepared angler.<br />

Don’t own your own boat? The cheapest ticket to an unforgettable encounter<br />

of the albacore kind is through a local charter agency featuring comfortable<br />

cruisers with the latest tackle and gear rigged by capable deckhands. Back in<br />

port, they’ll carve and pack your catch into mouthwatering steaks ready for<br />

canning, freezing or the grill. With a generous 25-fish bag limit, you’ll be<br />

enjoying seasonal albacore tuna for months to come.<br />

PAULA TEPLITZ<br />

ON EXHIBIT<br />

THROUGH SEP. 30<br />

Siletz-based ceramic and mixed media artist, Paula Teplitz, will open her<br />

new exhibit — “In Animate Objects” — at the Newport Visual Arts Center<br />

on Friday, Aug. 4. The show will run through Sept. 30 in the Upstairs Gallery.<br />

Davidson, director of the Newport Visual Arts Center. “The varied mediums<br />

showcase a wonderful reflection of her deep respect for life in its many forms,<br />

and her gentle aesthetic gracefully flows through whichever material she is<br />

working with.”<br />

An opening reception will take place on Friday, Aug. 4, from 5 to 8 p.m.<br />

Wine and light refreshments will be served, live music will be provided by<br />

Ian Smith, and Teplitz will be on hand. To learn more, visit coastarts.org/<br />

events/teplitz/<br />

Exhibits at Newport Visual Arts Center are free to the public and can be<br />

viewed most Wednesdays through Saturdays, from noon to 4 p.m., at 777<br />

NW Beach Drive in Newport.<br />

The exhibit features a wide range of work, including sculpture, hand-built<br />

utilitarian ware ceramics, paper mâché, carving, glazing, mixed media, and<br />

more. Heavily influenced by her travels to Europe, Africa, Japan and Mexico,<br />

Teplitz’s pieces commonly depict animals and humans, and her materials are<br />

often repurposed.<br />

“In addition to materials that are mined or extracted, I’ve made an effort<br />

to create with items that might otherwise be headed to the scrap heap,” said<br />

Teplitz. “Every fastener, form, and material presents its own problem-solving<br />

challenge. Simple things can take many failures to finally get right. And while<br />

this is frustrating, it can be very rewarding in the end.”<br />

Born in Los Angeles, Teplitz studied animal science for two years before<br />

adjusting her major to studio art — eventually earning a bachelor’s degree<br />

from Sonoma St. College. She also studied at University of New Mexico,<br />

Albuquerque and with Phil Cornelius in Pasadena, California. Teplitz<br />

ultimately moved to the Pacific Northwest, where she has resided in various<br />

locations since 1990. Over the years, she has evolved her own techniques,<br />

including various ways to include illustration on clay pieces. In addition to<br />

ceramics, she enjoys painting and gardening.<br />

“Paula’s work encapsulates her affinity for living things,” said Chasse<br />

2023<br />

OREGON<br />

COAST JAZZ<br />

PARTY<br />

Newport, Oregon: The annual Oregon Coast<br />

Jazz Party (OCJP) returns to Newport Performing<br />

Arts Center for three days of exceptional live jazz<br />

– October 6-8, 2023 – presented by Oregon Coast<br />

Council for the Arts (OCCA). Known nationally<br />

for its incredible talent draw, beautiful venue, and<br />

picturesque setting in beautiful Nye Beach, “the<br />

party” is a festival like no other, offering the very<br />

best in live jazz just steps from the Pacific Ocean.<br />

This year’s lineup, thoughtfully curated by<br />

Music Director Ken Peplowski, features both<br />

Pacific Northwest talent and sought-after artists<br />

from across United States, including Diego<br />

Figueiredo, Ada Rovatti, The Monty Alexander<br />

Trio (Monty Alexander, Luke Sellick, Jason<br />

Brown), Katie Thiroux, Randy Porter, Kenny<br />

Washington, Lewis Nash, Dave Captein, Tom<br />

Ranier, Todd Strait, and Tom Wakeling.<br />

“We have a very exciting and eclectic lineup<br />

this year,” said Peplowski, who will also be playing<br />

live, “Some jazz party favorites joined by some<br />

new-to-this-event performers that will absolutely<br />

blow you away!”<br />

One of the finest jazz instrumentalists on<br />

the scene today, Music Director, clarinetist, and<br />

tenor saxophonist Ken Peplowski is well-known<br />

by jazz enthusiasts worldwide. With his innate<br />

sense of rhythm, incredible technical fluency,<br />

and rich, full sound, he's admired by audiences<br />

and critics alike, and has even been referred to<br />

as "the greatest living jazz clarinetist" (Russell<br />

Davies, BBC Two). Peplowski is also one of the<br />

world's most recorded jazz players, and has played<br />

with epic talent that includes Benny Goodman,<br />

Mel Tormé, Peggy Lee, Charlie Byrd, Rosemary<br />

Clooney, and many others.<br />

OCCA staff, festival organizers, and an army<br />

of volunteers have been mobilized, as party<br />

preparations kick into high gear. “It takes a village,<br />

as they say, to bring an event of this scale to life<br />

– and we’re fortunate to have a wealth of local<br />

music-lovers pitching in,” said Jason Holland,<br />

Executive Director for OCCA. “I couldn’t be<br />

more excited about the lineup of musicians in<br />

store for our audiences. We’re thrilled to welcome<br />

Ken Peplowski back on stage this year. October<br />

can’t get here soon enough! We hope you’ll join<br />

us!”<br />

The star-studded affair takes place across four<br />

OC WAVES • VOL 4.01<br />

unique sessions – kicking off with a 7:00pm<br />

opening night performance and reception on<br />

Friday, October 6th, followed by two performances<br />

– at 2:00pm and 7:00pm – on Saturday, October<br />

7th, and concluding with a grand finale session at<br />

1:00pm on Sunday, October 8th. This year’s finale<br />

session will be an all-Gershwin affair.<br />

“I hope everyone attends all four sessions, as<br />

they're all slightly different,” said Peplowski.<br />

“This year is the 125th anniversary of George<br />

Gershwin's birth, and 2024 marks the 100th<br />

anniversary of the premiere of Rhapsody in Blue,<br />

one of the earliest attempts by any composer to<br />

write a classical/jazz hybrid – and write it in a<br />

long-form mode. The influence the Gershwins<br />

had on the jazz world is immeasurable, the proof<br />

being that we're all still performing his songs all<br />

these years later. This will be the first time this<br />

jazz party has ever honored a specific composer,<br />

and if you like it, we'll keep up the tradition!”<br />

Performances take place in Newport<br />

Performing Arts Center’s state-of-the-art Alice<br />

Silverman Theatre, which features the unparalleled<br />

sound quality of the venue’s Meyer Constellation<br />

acoustic system, delivering an extraordinary live<br />

sound experience. Audiences can reserve seats for<br />

individual sessions ($55-$75) or purchase a “Party<br />

Pass” to gain access to every session, all weekend<br />

long ($210). All proceeds benefit Oregon Coast<br />

Council for the Arts. Tickets are available in<br />

person at the box office (777 W Olive Street),<br />

by calling (541) 265-ARTS, or online, at www.<br />

IMMERSE YOURSELF<br />

IN A NEW EXHIBIT<br />

“Being Fluid,” a new exhibit by artist Michael<br />

Guerriero, will be on display in the Runyan<br />

Gallery at Newport Visual Arts Center from<br />

Aug. 4 through Sept. 30.<br />

works in steel, bending wire and rod into animal<br />

and figurative shapes, and depicting ephemeral<br />

swimmers that represent human interactions in<br />

our natural world.<br />

1114 NE Hwy 101 • Lincoln City<br />

Drawing inspiration not only from his affinity for<br />

water, but also from studying the work of Paul<br />

Klee and Alexander Calder, Guerriero’s new<br />

show features sculptures, paintings, drawings<br />

and serigraphs that explore themes of swimming,<br />

interacting with nature and finding balance.<br />

Guerriero has studied and created art for most<br />

of his life — producing a series of serigraphs,<br />

paintings, murals, and sculptures over the course<br />

of 35 years spent in Northern California. He and<br />

his wife moved to Yachats in 2013. Since then,<br />

he has expanded his studio to include sculptured<br />

A lifelong swimmer, Guerriero is fascinated<br />

by water. “The way it moves and envelopes,”<br />

he explains, “the striking temperature change,<br />

coming up to the surface for breath.”<br />

“Beyond depicting the ocean and water that<br />

dominates our surroundings here on the coast,<br />

Being Fluid takes us deeper,” said Chasse<br />

Davidson, director of the Newport Visual Arts<br />

Center. “This body of work goes beyond an<br />

impression of water and its life forms. It explores<br />

the relationships and connections that become<br />

evident when immersed.”<br />

BANNERS 2023<br />

14th ANNUAL AUCTION<br />

NOVEMBER 04 - 11<br />

BARBARA BREADEN<br />

This 10th-year banner reflects my fond preoccupation with painting en plein<br />

air , in the light of Nye Beach. All eyes West! With luck, we can capture<br />

a sudden vapor spurt above the horizon: the 50-foot gray whale, the most<br />

common whale off the Oregon coast, with about 200 in residence June to<br />

October. They may first show as a dark streak in the water before spouting<br />

a double-plumed blow 15 feet straight up; from 3 times a minute to longer<br />

times in between breaths. With light glinting through its misty plume, our<br />

common gray whale appears not so common after all.<br />

ART BANNER<br />

TRADITION<br />

CONTINUES<br />

Lots of work, but a labor of love.<br />

That’s how Veronica Lundell<br />

describes the Nye Beach Banner<br />

Project.<br />

And now, in the project’s 15th<br />

season, Lundell has just completed<br />

hanging this year’s crop of 42<br />

banners.<br />

The original premise of the<br />

banners was to encourage people<br />

to recognize Nye Beach as an arts<br />

district and a distinct Newport<br />

neighborhood.<br />

“The idea of a banner project came<br />

from a discussion about how we as<br />

merchants could have Nye Beach<br />

recognized as an area for people<br />

to visit,” said Lundell. Because she<br />

sews and paints and had tarps at<br />

home, Lundell proposed hanging<br />

handmade banners and created<br />

prototypes of them.<br />

side 1 side 2<br />

The banner project celebrates the<br />

Nye Beach neighborhood as the<br />

heart of the arts in Newport. It<br />

also marks the 50th anniversary of<br />

the Endangered Species Act and<br />

the fourth year of the exchange of<br />

banners with Mombetsu, Japan,<br />

And the Nye Beach Banner Project<br />

was born.<br />

Artists are invited to paint an image<br />

on a banner that relates to the<br />

natural elements of the area — the<br />

beach, for example — and on the<br />

reverse side, to paint a saying or<br />

HOLLY BYRNES<br />

I love the beauty and variety of the Oregon coast. It is a delight to participate<br />

in The Nye Beach Banner Project. The tufted puffin, ochre sea star, and<br />

sea palm kelp are featured in my banner due to their vulnerabilities.<br />

Tufted puffins breed in near-shore burrows on cliffs or rocky places. Their<br />

population declined from around 5,000 in 1998 to 142 birds in 2008 with<br />

a slight increase in 2021 to 553. Some sea star species are recovering from<br />

sea star wasting disease, others are not. Harvest of the sea palm kelp, part of<br />

the undersea forest and foundation of the ocean ecosystem, is prohibited in<br />

Oregon. The quote from Voltaire seemed apt.<br />

Tom Ettel lives in the Nye Beach neighborhood. He loves hiking lush coastal<br />

trails, beachcombing on stormy days, and wandering the bayfront.<br />

His frequent childhood pilgrimages to Disneyland inspire his whimsical,<br />

expressive woodland and coastal characters, and mushrooms, in his sculptures,<br />

ornaments, sketches and earrings. He loves creating adorable, unusual<br />

creatures that roam the deep, mysterious sea. Welcome to his whimsical<br />

Blue whales are the largest animals ever to live on our planet. They are on the<br />

endangered species list and still grace our oceans with their beauty thanks to<br />

the Environmental Species Act<br />

GRAECE GABRIEL<br />

This year the suggested theme is to honor species which are endangered.<br />

I am a lover of owls, and so have included a little Northern Spotted Owl to<br />

watch wisely over us. It symbolizes wisdom, the sacred, deep listening, and<br />

second sight. Seeing beyond the veil. Hearing what others may miss. Seeing<br />

in the dark. Mystery and wisdom abound.<br />

SARA HEIMLICH<br />

Pycnopodia helianthoides, the Sunflower Sea Star, occur in the coastal<br />

waters of the Northeast Pacific Ocean from the Aleutian Islands, Alaska,<br />

to northern Baja California, Mexico. Sea star wasting syndrome is their<br />

primary threat and has caused a precipitous population decline throughout<br />

their range. While listed as Critically Endangered by the International<br />

Union for Conservation of Nature, the ESA lists Pycnopodia as Threatened<br />

I am a retired whale biologist and science graphics specialist, who dabbles<br />

in other kinds of art. It has been a privilege and honor to craft this booklet<br />

each year and to donate this banner.<br />

MARY JO HESSEL<br />

My first painting at ten was a deer in the woods. My teacher, Sister Grace<br />

told me to choose something I thought was beautiful. Nature has always<br />

been my greatest teacher. Learning about endangered species in Oregon led<br />

me to the Department of Fish and Wildlife Dfw.state.or.us for a complete<br />

list. I chose the blue whale and pollinators for flowers. On Cascade Head<br />

the silver spotted butterfly requires blue violets to exist. Honeybees and<br />

ladybugs are also endangered due to habitat loss. I am hopeful that the<br />

banner project will continue to inspire all of us to care about wildlife.<br />

CAROLINE O’BRIEN<br />

Nye Beach provided a magical, beautiful comfort while I lived there. My<br />

garden, any garden, provides the same wonderful feelings for me. And it’s<br />

not just the humming bees or the joyful, giddy bumblebee...the ants and<br />

wasps as well. It would be good to consider that all insects are pollinators...<br />

then maybe consider that WE are pollinators...We are ALL pollinators.<br />

KHARA LEDONNE<br />

I chose the Coho salmon for this year’s theme of the Endangered Species Act<br />

anniversary. Though most salmon populations are decimated and continue to<br />

decline, the Coho population has taken an optimistic turn because of habitat<br />

restoration. Salmon need wild rivers! With the Mary Oliver quote, I wanted<br />

to acknowledge both the sustenance and beauty of this powerful species.<br />

BETTY MARLENE PARDEY<br />

My banner has a young sea otter being welcomed by its kelp forest on one<br />

side and the evocative sea gulls of Nye Beach on the other. After learning<br />

that sea otters have been missing from our coast since the 19th century due<br />

to uncontrolled fur trade, I felt compelled to honor Elakha Alliance’s mission<br />

of bringing back a healthy population and restoring healthy kelp forests for<br />

a balanced coastal ecosystem. Watching seagulls at Nye Beach is one of my<br />

favorite pastimes. Their graceful flights evoke the beautiful story of Jonathan<br />

Livingston Seagull.<br />

OC WAVES • VOL 4.01<br />

thought-provoking comment.<br />

“We have writers, artists, artisans,<br />

the visual arts center, the performing<br />

arts center, all in this area,” Lundell<br />

said. “And we hope the banners will<br />

inspire people to get out of their<br />

cars to walk around and read the<br />

back of the banners.<br />

“For years, artists requested an<br />

additional theme,” she added, and<br />

this year that theme is the 50th<br />

anniversary of the Endangered<br />

Species Act. The project started<br />

with 32 banners and has had as<br />

many as 55, with the low 40s being<br />

the preferred number.<br />

The year of COVID — 2020<br />

— was the first year Mombetsu<br />

participated in the banner project.<br />

Since then, Lundell has sent eight<br />

prepared canvases to Newport’s<br />

Sister City each year. Mombetsu<br />

sends back five painted banners for<br />

Lundell to display and auction, with<br />

the others remaining for the city to<br />

display.<br />

Lundell, who visited Mombetsu<br />

in February, said the Japanese city<br />

displays the Newport banners<br />

during festivals and special events,<br />

and at other times puts them on<br />

display in the city’s cultural center.<br />

During her February visit, the<br />

banners lined the street leading to<br />

the Mombetsu icebreaker ship.<br />

“How delighted I am that<br />

Mombetsu has valued the<br />

opportunity to take part in this<br />

exchange,” Lundell said. “What<br />

they paint is very thoughtful.”<br />

Lundell, who owns Jovi, a Nye<br />

Beach arts, crafts and furniture<br />

accent piece shop at 232 NW Coast<br />

St., Suite B, gets together with a<br />

group of women —‘ the Bannerettes<br />

— to sew the banners; she then<br />

prepares the banners for painting<br />

by the participating artists. They in<br />

turn paint them and return them<br />

to Lundell’s shop, where she clear<br />

coats them, attaches grommets, and<br />

photographs and hangs them.<br />

The banners are hung on the<br />

neighborhood’s decorative light<br />

poles, beginning at the intersection<br />

of Coast and Olive streets, then<br />

heading north on Cliff, Coast and<br />

Third streets and at the Nye Beach<br />

turnaround.<br />

They are approximately 2 feet by<br />

3-1/2 feet in size, are made from<br />

heavy-duty cotton paint tarps,<br />

recycled house paint, poly clear<br />

coat and rope — everything outof-pocket<br />

or donated, Lundell said,<br />

adding that the Nye Neighborhood<br />

Association helps sponsor the<br />

project.<br />

“Everybody donates their time,<br />

including the 40-plus artists.<br />

Proceeds from the project are<br />

donated to youth arts education<br />

through Oregon Coast Council for<br />

the Arts.<br />

When it’s time for the banners<br />

to come down, they are put up<br />

for auction, and since COVID,<br />

the auction has been held online.<br />

This year an opening reception<br />

will be held Nov. 4 at the second<br />

floor classroom, room 205, at the<br />

Newport Visual Arts Center (VAC).<br />

The online auction concludes Nov.<br />

11.<br />

All the bidding will take place<br />

online. Bidding starts at 1 p.m. Nov.<br />

4, and a “buy it now” option will be<br />

offered for $400 per banner. Chasse<br />

Davidson, VAC director, cautioned<br />

that the banners go fast.<br />

Davidson said money raised from<br />

the banner project is used by<br />

Oregon Coast Council for the Arts<br />

for youth arts education — classes,<br />

supplies, scholarships and the Arts<br />

Bus.<br />

“It’s a huge fundraiser,” said<br />

Davidson. “They beat last year’s<br />

goal. We support it behind the<br />

scenes.”<br />

In addition, a booklet to accompany<br />

the auction, including a brief<br />

statement from each banner artist,<br />

will be coordinated by Sara<br />

Heimlich; the booklets will go on<br />

sale beginning Aug. 30 at Jovi and<br />

the VAC.<br />

“One of the reasons this project has<br />

been so successful is that everyone<br />

donates their time,” Lundell<br />

said. “People want to be part of<br />

something. They’re motivated by the<br />

opportunity to be part of a public<br />

art installation, as well as helping to<br />

make arts education available.”<br />

To donate to the project, stop in at<br />

the VAC or Jovi.<br />

BLAKE ALLEN NORRIS<br />

My banner expresses the need to take care of the diverse animal<br />

life on the Oregon Coast, much of which is endangered. The<br />

lighthouse position symbolizes humans’ imposed dominance<br />

over the ocean. Originally from Southern Arkansas, I lived<br />

in Nye Beach for a year but now live and keep my studio in<br />

Waldport. The peace and serenity of the Oregon Coast calms my<br />

active mind and helps direct my creativity. I have been producing<br />

and selling art since 2001: oil on canvas, sculpture, printmaking,<br />

photography, mixed media. My work ranges from abstracts to<br />

political subjects. Find more at instagram: @banabstract.<br />

SANDY ROUMAGOUX<br />

To celebrate the 2023 theme of the 50th Anniversary of the<br />

Endangered Species Act, I chose the wolf, specifically the Grey<br />

Wolf which I discovered comes in colors from white, to tawny,<br />

to a merle, to grey. The wolf is a misunderstood animal and has<br />

been hunted almost to extinction. However, over the centuries,<br />

the wolf has been used by indigenous peoples in the Northwest as<br />

a symbol for power, intelligence, strength. The banner is my way<br />

of celebrating this spiritual and magical animal.<br />

“We are all in the same boat”, is symbolic of the delicate balance<br />

on planet Earth. The seed pod boat represents hope for the<br />

planet. The clown fish is a statement on Mankind’s relationship<br />

The snowy plover and the Coastal marten are endangered<br />

species found in our own Lincoln County, Oregon. “Biodiversity<br />

is our treasure,” is a reminder that we humans are custodians<br />

and guardians of the invaluable web of life that sustains us.I am<br />

a mixed media artist living in the Nye Beach neighborhood. My<br />

work can be viewed at carolshenk.com<br />

This banner is called “Fire on the Cusp”. It is a tribute and a call for action,<br />

a celebration and a dire warning that our entire planet is burning; we cannot<br />

leave it this way for future generations. The juxtaposition of the lion with<br />

his ferocious yet courageous demeanor and the monarch butterfly with their<br />

delicate yet tenacious will to survive encapsulates the message behind my<br />

banner: life hangs in a delicate balance, one that our species has drastically<br />

thrown off, one that our species must fight to regain. As always it is an honor<br />

to join in the Nye Beach Banner project and I thank everybody involved for<br />

contributing.<br />

I found the endangered species topic this year to be challenging,<br />

so much of this world has suffered from the success of our<br />

species. I see creatures listed as canaries in our coal mine. But I<br />

was encouraged to learn how many species have come off of the<br />

list, including the American Eagle. I see one, two, three, almost<br />

daily now. We can do better.<br />
