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 />

OC WAVES • VOL 4.01
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 />

3/4 cup brown sugar<br />
2 tsp lemon juice<br />
3 tsp vanilla<br />
2 1/2 tsp. Real fruit Classic Pectin<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
Newport’s Sister City.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
