Your Guide To The Grapes

The Yakima Valley Appellation grows a number of varieties of grapes that nd their way into the bottle for appreciative connoisseurs. The following is a guide to grapes and wine name pronunciations. Merlot (mer-LOW) Yakima Valley Merlot is known for its sweet cherry, berry avors and complex aromas that include plum, mint, cigar box, and sweet spices. Traditionally used in blends in much of Europe, Merlot gained popularity as a stand-alone wine in the USA in the early 1970s. Yakima Valley Merlot, with its cherry avors and aroma, tends to be fullbodied with ty pically soft tannins, slightly higher in alcohol than its Bordeaux cousins and higher in acidity than Merlots from California. Cabernet Sauvignon (cab-air-NAY so-veen-YOWN) The king of the red grapes grows magnicently in Washington. The heady, fruity character of this complex grape develops slowly. In its youth, the wine appears more subtle and restrained than Washington Merlots. Its character can emerge as black currants, cherry, berry, chocolate, leather, mint, herbs, bell pepper or any combination of these. This wine ages beautifully. While several years of bottle aging are often needed for the wine to show its best, most can be appreciated in their youth. Many of the Yakima Valley vintners employ traditional blending practices, adding Merlot or Cabernet Franc to the wine. Syrah (sear-AH) The rst Syrah grapes in Washington were planted in the Yakima Valley in 1986. National recognition for Yakima Valley Syrahs, together with the wines wide consumer appeal has lead to a substantial increase in Syrah plantings in the past few years. Syrah is just one of the Rhne varieties sparking new interest in Washington State. A spicy, rich, com-

plex varietal, Syrah grapes turn into big, dark, intensely concentrated wines with aromas and avors of blackberries, black currants, roasted coffee and leather. Cabernet Franc (cab-air-NAY FRAWNK) Cabernet Franc has captured the attention of Washington winemakers who are exploring the grapes unique varietal characteristics, using it both as a blending grape and as a stand-alone variety. A hardy grape, Cabernet Franc has been of primary value for the sturdy core and rm tannins it adds to softer wines. On its own, it offers delicious, spicy notes with mellow coffee and intense blueberry fruit. Other Reds Riesling (REES-ling) Yakima Valley Riesling is one of the original grape varieties grown in Washington and one of the rst to bring national attention to Washington wines. The Valleys Rieslings tend to be very oral in the nose, with vivid apricot-peach avors. Most Washington Rieslings are created in an off-dry to slightly sweet style, all balanced with typically good acidity. Occasionally, noble rot works its magic on Riesling, concentrating the sugars and avors to produce a late-harvest or ice wine of incomparable intensity. Gewrztraminer (ge-VOORTZ-trame-nair) An early Washington success story because of its ability to withstand the cold winters, Gewrztraminer typically offers allspice as well as tropical fruit with zesty aromas and avors. Previously made only in an off-dry or slightly sweet style, Gewrztraminer is now being explored by Washington winemakers who wish to make dry styles that retain its rich aromatics. Other Whites Chenin Blanc (SHEN-nin BLAHNK) Lively fruit and mouth-watering acidity make this the perfect oyster wine. Pinot Gris (PEE-no GREE) Produces soft wines with delicate varietal elements of melon and spice. Viognier (vee-own-YAY) A richlytextured wine with distinctive aromatic notes of peaches and honeysuckle.

Marcus Pretica, and muralist A. B. (Tony) Heinsbergen. Later the city bought the building and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Sites. Just days later, it caught fire and destroyed quite a bit of the historic building. But citizens rallied together, restoration efforts were completed and it is a local gem to this day. The murals and acoustics are truly unique, enhancing each performance held there.

Toppenishs Murals Bring History Alive

*** the project with donations and money earned from fund-raisers. The group is an independent, nonprot organization with broad support throughout the Valley and beyond. A map of the city and a key to where the murals are located in this years Visitors Guide, along with full-color photos and individual mural details. A suggested walking tour is also featured on the map. For extra visual assistance, just follow the unique horseshoe prints on city sidewalks for help in nding the trail leading to each mural. The Toppenish Visitor Information Center is at 504 E. Elm St. The center also offers mural souvenirs, postcards and full-color books featuring the murals. Be sure to visit the Fred Oldeld Gallery inside the Visitor Center which houses several of Oldelds paintings donated to the Mural Society from a philanthropist who collected the former Toppenish residents western art. Oldeld has participated in most every Toppenish Mural-in-a-Day since the programs inception in 1989. He has also painted individual murals in town. *** Following are short introductions of each mural: 1. CLEARING THE LAND The rst mural was Toppenishs rst Mural-ina-Day, painted on June 3, 1989, to launch the ambitious mural program. Designed by Phil Kooser of Yakima, the mural was painted under his direction by 15 noted western artists who collaborated on the 40-foot painting on the side of the Western Auto building at Washington Avenue and Toppenish Ave. It depicts the tremendous effort put forth by settlers in the area. 2. HALLERS DEFEAT Immerse yourself in Hallers Defeat and it practically crackles with the sounds of gunre and the beating of horses hooves. Located just off East Toppenish Avenue on Asotin Avenue, it covers a Les Schwab Tire wall 108 feet long. The mural, painted by Fred Oldeld,
(See the mural map pages 4243 for the location of murals. The number of each mural coincides with numbers on the locator map.) Each year on the rst weekend in June, the Toppenish Mural Society gathers a talented group of artists together to complete a mural in one day. The Toppenish Mural project began as the Mural-in-a-Day activity in June of 1989, when Clearing the Land was created. Since that rst mural more than 20 years ago, the local mural society has continued to commission artists each year for the event. The program has led to 73 murals around the city, illustrating local history on the walls of buildings. Since the creation of the popular event, three walls have been actually been built for the sole purpose of having a mural on them. During 2011 more than 10,000 visitors walked through the doors of the Toppenish Visitors Welcome Center to learn more about this fascinating program. The artists invited to participate in Mural-in-a-Day are professional Western artists from throughout the western United States and Canada. Among the artists included in past projects have been: Fred Oldeld, Val Kerby, Robert Thomas, Gary Kerby, Roger Cooke, Don Crook, Lesa Delisi, Karen Gulley, Phil Kooser, Bill McCusker, Newman Myrah, Ken Carter, Janet Essley, Don Brown, Jack Fordyce, Don Gray, Betty Billups, Robert Walton, Daniel DeSiga, Jan Whitefoot, Mavis Willson and Bill Ross. This years Mural-In-A-Day event will include food and craft vendors, a Friday night steak feed and a Saturday morning pancake feed. Visitors are encouraged to come and watch a dozen or more professional artists paint a historically accurate mural on June 2 in Toppenish. Each mural costs thousands of dollars, and the Mural Society funds
portrays a battle fought in 1855 a few miles southwest of Toppenish between 80 troops from Fort Dalles in Oregon and an estimated 1,000 Yakama Indians. 3. FIFTEEN MILES & A CHANGE OF HORSES On a sunny Saturday in June of 1990, 14 western artists from around the Pacic Northwest gathered to paint the second Mural-in-a-Day on the Roadrunner building on West First Street. Designed by Phil Kooser, the mural takes you back to an old-time Toppenish stagecoach depot of the 1880s. The depot burned down in 1928. 4. NEWELLS DRIVE You can nd artist Don Crooks paintings in galleries around the country, but nowhere will you nd a bigger one than this mural on the Reid Building facing South Toppenish Avenue. Crook painted Newells Drive to illustrate a horse roundup led by early Toppenish pioneer Charlie Newell. It took six weeks for Crook to complete the 70-foot scene, assisted by his wife Shirley Crystal and Gary Kerby. 5. THE INDIAN STICK GAME Gambling has been a favorite activity of many cultures through the ages. The Indian Stick Game shows Northwest Indians gathered around to pit their wits and luck against one another. Indians played the age-old stick game at any function where they had the space and time. You can still see it played at modern day pow wows, including at the Indian Village during the Fourth of July Toppenish Pow Wow. Yakima artist Mavis Willson painted this mural at Top Cleaners, 11 Washington Ave. 6. CHRISTMAS AT LOGY CREEK Snow on the ground, a crisp chill in the air, a hot cup of coffee extended to a friend: It is Christmas day in the Old West. In his second mural for the Toppenish Mural Society, Fred Oldeld painted a scene from his own past, a scene he once lived as a former cowboy from Toppenish. Called Christmas at Logy Creek, in this mural, two Indians share their re and food with
39
Toppenish Murals
a cowboy friend. The mural is on the Family Bargain Center building at 14 Washington Ave. 7. THE RHYTHMS OF CELILO Nothing tells the story of Northwest Indians better than the saga of the majestic salmon. Nobody tells that story quite like Yakima artist Phil Kooser. In The Rhythms of Celilo, Kooser has brought back the traditional shing ritual practiced by Indian tribes of the Toppenish area. The mural, located on the former Pacic Power building at Third Street and South Elm, captures the life and feeling of a bygone day. Jack Fordyce assisted in the painting. 8. PARADISE ROW It may be a far cry from heaven to our eyes, but to early-day settlers, this street was paradise. This turn-of-the-century scene is the work of Val Kerby of Toppenish. It is based on a photograph of Toppenishs rst main street, taken in 1905. It was located on the side of S&S Sales at 311 Asotin Ave. next to the Toppenish school bus garage. Gary Kerby assisted his father with the painting. Currently the mural is down because of damage. There is no estimated time of return. 9. WHEN HOPS WERE PICKED BY HAND This mural by Robert Thomas of Kooskia, Idaho, shows an early hop harvest when the crop was picked by hand. Indians from all over the Northwest, who came to the Toppenish area each year with their families, pets and chickens, usually did this. They set up small Indian villages of teepees at the hop elds, staying until the harvest was completed. The mural was funded by the hop industry, which also paid for and developed a park called Old Timers Plaza, adjacent to the mural. 10. HOT AND DUSTY WORK The 10th mural in the series is the third mural-in-a-day, painted on what is now a free-standing wall near Central Valley Bank. Designed by Phil Kooser, the mural depicts the annual roundup and branding of cattle. 11. THE BLACKSMITH SHOP Roger Cooke, a well-known artist from
Sandy, Ore., has recreated a composite of Toppenishs early blacksmith shopsthere were four of them at the turn of the century. Blacksmith shops were the backbone of the local economy then, repairing wagon wheels, shoeing horses and manufacturing various metal products. 12. AT THE PEAK OF HARVEST This mural depicts a potato harvest of bygone days. Sponsored by the Bouchey familiespotato growers the mural illustrates the backbreaking work potato harvest was until the development of mechanized harvesting. Fred Oldeld, with a little help from his friends, completed this mural across from Old Timers Plaza downtown in the summer of 1991. 13. RODEO This recalls the early Toppenish roundups when cowboys and ranchers would get together for a little friendly competition. Artist Newman Myrah of Portland, Ore., illustrates the rodeo theme with his version of a timeworn poster with brick showing through. It is painted on the west wall of Fergusons Saddlery at South Alder and West First. 14. FORT SIMCOE...THE OLDEN DAYS A mural in four panels, it was painted in early 1992 by Val Kerby and shows the fort area as it was in the early 1850s. You can visit Fort Simcoe about 30 miles west of Toppenish. The mural is located on the American Legion building on West First. 15. THE SIGNING OF THE TREATY 1855 Gov. Stevens of the Washington Territory sat down with several Northwestern Indian chiefs to sign the far-reaching Treaty of 1855. In this mural in downtown Toppenish near the post ofce, the Indians were represented by Chief Kamiakin of the Yakamas. Roger Cooke of Sandy, Ore, painted it in May of 1992. 16. THE BLANKET TRADERS Using a catalogue from the turn of the century, artist Robert Morgan of Clancy, Mont., made certain that the blankets being traded in this mural show the authentic patterns of the time. The mural above Kraffs clothing store on South Toppenish Avenue downtown was painted in May of 1992.
17. THE CROSSROADS TO MARKET Artist Robert Thomas shows the various methods of moving commodities to market in this collage. Thomas was born and raised in Toppenish and now resides in Kooskia, Idaho. The mural is on the wall of the Pow Wow Emporium adjacent to Old Timers Plaza in downtown Toppenish. 18. THE OLD CHUCK WAGON Painted as the fourth mural-in-a-day by a dozen Northwest artists, this mural shows the red and green chuck wagon that was a common sight at roundup time. Artist Newman Myrah of Portland created the design. The mural is located on a freestanding wall near Central Valley Bank. 19. HOUSE CALLS OLD STYLE Dr. Johnson purchased one of the rst automobiles in the area for the purpose of making house calls. Since he often had trouble starting the car, he always kept his horse and buggy ready. Painted by Yakima artists Jack Fordyce and Phil Kooser, this mural shows Johnson giving up on the automobile and switching to the buggy. It is painted on the wall of Providence Toppenish Hospital on Fourth Street. 20. INDIANS WINTER ENCAMPMENT Although the winters were long, cold and bleak, the local tribes survived the hardships. The winter lodge was the gathering place for social functions. Hulan Fleming of Bothell painted this mural to depict a typical winter encampment. It is located on the north wall of the Kirkwood Building on South Toppenish Ave., the same building where the Mural Society ofce is located. 21. THE OLD SATURDAY MARKET Dear to the hearts of many pioneers of the Toppenish area is the memory of Saturdays spent buying and trading livestock, produce and various wares. The market and auction took place where the post ofce now stands. Artist Robert Thomas, who remembers the Saturday market from his youth spent in Toppenish, brings the scene to life in this mural at Central Valley Bank. 22. THE RUTH PARTON STORY Women like Ruth Parton helped put
40
Toppenish Murals
Toppenish on the map in the early days with feats depicted in this mural of several panels painted by Lesa Delisi of Cashmere. Parton rode broncos, performed as a trick rider and rode relay races at rodeos around the country. She was also inducted into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame. The mural is located on the United Telephone Co. building at Washington and Alder. 23. HAYINGA CENTURY AGO This mural was the subject for the fth annual Mural-in-a-Day in June of 1993. Designed by Robert Thomas of Kooskia, Idaho, the mural was painted by 11 artists from around the Northwest. Toppenish was one of the leaders in the growing of alfalfa hay as well as one of the largest shippers of the product. The mural can be found at the corner of East Toppenish Avenue and B Street. 24. THE OLD LILLIE MANSION In 1893, Nevada and Josephine Lillie built a 10-room, two-story home with two inside bathrooms, steam heat, and a generator for electrical power. She is remembered as the Mother of Toppenish, having platted much of the town. The mural was painted by Ju-hong Joe Chen of Portland, Oregon, on the H&H Furniture building. 25. THE LIBERTY THEATRE Artist Lanny Little from Portland, Oregon, used architectural illusion to give this mural a three-dimensional look when viewed from a distance. Panels on the theatre depict wild horses running free as they did in the Toppenish area until recently. It is located on South Toppenish Ave. 26. COW CAMP For years the Logy Creek Cattle Association Cow Camp served as headquarters for local Indian roundups. Here the unmarked calves were branded before being pushed out to higher range. Bob F. Pierce and Newman Myrah, both of Portland, Ore., painted this mural on the Toppenish Inn at South Elm near the intersection of Highway 97. 27. MAUD BOLIN HER STORY Maud Bolin was one of the rst female
pilots and one of the rst women to parachute jump. She was also a rodeo rider who competed in Madison Square Garden and in many of the famous rodeos around the West. Larry Kangas, the artist, is from Portland, Ore. The mural is on the southwest wall of the Toppenish Review building at 11 East Toppenish Ave. 28. STAGE COACH RACES There never was a dull stagecoach race. In the early 1900s, this was one of the highlights of each rodeo. Don Gray of Union, Ore., painted the action-lled mural. It is located on the State Farm building on South Toppenish Ave. 29. THE PALACE HOTEL OF TOPPENISH To see what downtown Toppenish looked like around 1906, visit the mural on the El Corral Motel on Highway 22 near the intersection with Highway 97. Yakima artist Jack Fordyce painted the mural with help from Phil Kooser, also from Yakima. 30. THE TOPPENISH TRADING COMPANY The Trading Company was one of the rst buildings in Toppenish and was built on railroad property since there were no lots available at the time. The painting was the sixth Mural-in-a-Day, painted on panels in Pioneer Park on June 4, 1994, by 12 artists. The mural is located on the east wall of the Toppenish Review building, at the corner of East Toppenish Ave. and A Street. 31. ESTELLE REEL MEYER (18621959) President McKinley appointed Mrs. Meyer as Director of Indian Education for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1898, was the rst woman to hold that post. After 12 years in the position, she retired to marry Cort Meyer, a Toppenish rancher whom she had met at Fort Simcoe. The mural was painted by Joe Chen of Portland, Ore., and is on the Professional Images building on West First Street. 32. HOP MUSEUM MURALS On two outside walls of the American Hop Museum at 22 S. B Street, false architectural features are painted on the otherwise plain stucco surface, incorporating three archways which open as windows onto a series of typical ag scenes in the hop industry. The artist
is Eric Allen Grohe. 33. WHEN A PERMIT WASNT REQUIRED In this painting, because of the impending storm, the cattle are restless. The cattle dogs, which are dashing about, barking, and nipping at the cattles hooves, are not helping the situation. The spooked cattle run down the middle of Main Street. The artist is Gary Kerby, now of Montana. The mural is located on West First Street. 34. THE LOU SHATTUCK STORY L. S. (Lou) Shattuck (1892-1978) was one of the original Toppenish Pow Wow Rodeo boosters. He helped organize the rodeo in the beginning. The artist is Don Gray from Flagstaff, Ariz. The mural is located on South Toppenish Avenue. 35. THE OLD SCHOOL BARNS Painted as 1995s Mural-in-a-Day, the mural depicts one of Toppenishs old grade schools. Lincoln and Gareld elementary schools were built in 1908 and 1909. The designing artist was Roger Cooke of Sandy, Ore. 36. WESTERN HOSPITALITY When the frontier towns were settled, the oldest profession was part of the scene. So it was in Toppenish. On the second-oor windows of the Logan Building on Division Street, you can see the ladies, and get a feeling for the ebb and ow of activities. Betty Billups of Sandpoint, Idaho, was the artist. 37. HANGING OUT AND HANGING UP This is one of the two murals on the downtown Public Westrooms created as the eighth annual Muralin-a-Day, June 1, 1996.

Halloween night and anybody using the facilities that night did so at their own peril. Jack Fordyce of Yakima is the creator. 39. THE SURVEY PARTY After Gov. Stevens was informed by Lt. George B. McClellan (later a general) that Snoqualmie Pass was probably impassable during the winter, he directed A. W. Tinkam, a civil engineer, to resurvey the route. Gary Kerby of Toppenish completed this mural, on the Valley View Market building on East Toppenish Avenue in 1996. 40. THE PIX THEATRE The J.D. Keck building, constructed in 1911, housed two early Toppenish businesses a Chinese cafe and Mechtels Sugar Bowl Restaurant. In 1940, the Mercy Theatre chain opened the Pix Theatre. The 16 windows, painted by Lisa Delisi, portray early lawyers, judges and physicians who came to town in the early 1900s. The building is downtown on S. Toppenish Ave. 41. ALEX McCOY Born near The Dalles, Ore., in 1835, Alex McCoy was a descendant of the Wishram and Wasco tribes. He was a policeman under four different Indian agents, and served one term as an Indian judge. The mural was painted by Beryl Thomas and Jack Fordyce in 1996, and is on the Logan Building on Division Street. 42. WILDLIFE This mural, painted by Bill Ross and Jan Sovak of Alberta, Canada, depicts wildlife native to this area prior to its settlement. The mural is located on the north wall of the 88 Cents Store building at the corner of Washington and Toppenish Avenue. 43. IRISH DICK In about 1910, a strapping, hard-drinking shepherd called Irish Dick traded a pet bear cub to a Toppenish saloonkeeper for whiskey. Some months later, the rowdy shepherd was in town when his grownup pet escaped, panicking townsfolk. He offered to return the bear to its tether. A terrible ght on Main Street ended when an unharmed bear was returned to saloon servitude and a
brave and bloodied Irishman was taken to the hospital. The mural, painted by Bill Ross and Jan Sovak, is on the 88 Cents Store building at Washington and Toppenish Avenue. 44. PRESUMED INNOCENT The judge watches as the prosecutor presents the evidence. A small glass of water is held above an old milk can. Charged with diluting milk, the farmer sits with hat on knee, his lawyer standing behind him. The mural, also painted by Ross and Sovak, is on the east wall of the city jail building. 45. LONG ROUTESHORT DAY There is no description available for this mural. 46. SPECIAL DELIVERY In 1907, mail was rst delivered to the rural areas of Toppenish. This was the early start of Rural Free Delivery. The postman had to furnish his own horse and buggy. Routes were about 23 miles long. These two murals were 1997 murals-in-a-day, designed by Jack Fordyce. One is a winter scene, the other is a summer scene. If the postman was a bachelor, he occasionally found himself the recipient of home-baked goodies, delivered by the farmers daughter. The murals are on the Los Murales Restaurant building downtown. 47. PATTERNS OF LIFE The unique and beautiful designs on baskets made by the Yakama peoples represent the oldest continuous art form in the Valley, one that is still practiced today. The mural by Janet Essley is painted on the Toppenish Pawn and Trade building at Division near Toppenish Avenue. 48. 100 YEARS IN TOPPENISH In 1896, Toppenish had lots of sagebrush, a few buildings and no churches. The towns rst church was incorporated as the Methodist Church on Aug. 26, 1898, at the corner of Asotin Avenue and Beech Street. It was moved to its present location in 1909, on the corner of Chehalis and Beech, where this mural was painted, recalling the early days of the building which served as both a church and school. Painted by Roger Cooke. 49. THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN DANCE
This dance is done to traditional Indian songs. The name was derived from a legend of some Indian boys who were playing warrior games on the prairie and who looked over a bluff to see a group of prairie chickens dancing (it was the mating season). It is also known as the Round Bustle Dance. Painted by George Flett on the Maid O Clover/Shell Station building. 50. THE OWL DANCE Also painted on the Maid O Clover building by George Flett. It depicts a traditional dance in which both men and women participate. 51. ALL ABOARD One of Toppenish more unusual murals, it was painted in colors reminiscent of sepiatoned old photographs. The Toppenish depot was a hub of activity for nearly 100 years, with both passenger and freight trains stopping on their routes east and west. Painted by Bill Ross at a visitor information and RV dumpsite at the corner of Washington Avenue and South Elm Street. 52. THE MARION DRAIN The 1998 Mural-in-a-Day, was designed by Robert Thomas and painted by a dozen participating artists. The huge project helped control ooding, providing a channel for drainage of water on the reservation. Painted on panels and then mounted on the Ideal Hardware building on West First. 53.

This mural depicts the life and times of the cattle drover on such a drive. Painted by Don Gray, assisted by Jared Gray, on the Washington Beef building at Highway 97 and Fort Road. 54. LEGENDS OF THE YAKAMA This mural depicts several well-known and revered Yakama Indian legends, including the legend of Spilyay, the trickster who most often appeared as a coyote. Painted by Cameron Blagg, assisted by Gene Andy, Gene Andy Jr., and Pat Coffey on the Yakamart building at Highway 97 and Fort Road. 55. INDIAN HORSE RACES

Toppenish Murals
Charlie Newells knowledge of the Indian language and his acquaintance with the Yakama enabled him to avert a crisis. The Indian Agency had forbidden the racing of horses on the track and gambling at their meets. At Newells suggestion, the Yakamas drafted a request to Washington, D.C., to rescind the order, which was granted. This mural depicts the time and the races. Painted by Ken Carter on the Ray Reid building on Toppenish Avenue. 56. TRADING WITH THE YAKAMA Some of the rst contact between white men and the Yakama involved trading.

It still is standing, in a weathered condition, on the old Goldendale Highway about six miles south of Toppenish. The mural was painted by Robert Walton and is located on the NAPA Auto Parts building on West First St. 60. EL SARAPE The outline and design of this mural depicts the sarape, a woven blanket worn by Hispan-
ics as a cloak or poncho. The mural tells the story of the braceros, workers who came from Mexico to help harvest the crops in the 1940s. The mural was painted by Daniel DeSiga and is located on the back of the Marketplace on Second Avenue. 61.

FUELING UP This mural on the west wall of the school bus garage near the railroad tracks shows school buses in a scene circa 1930 at the Four Way Filling Station. The buses often gassed up there or had minor repairs done. Bill McCusker and Jack Fordyce painted it in October of 2001. 63. BARN DANCE Painted on the wall of Cocos Hair Salon on East Toppenish Avenue, this mural is unique in that an all-woman team of artists painted it. Noted western artist Fred Oldeld led the team of about a dozen women who created this nostalgic scene of an old barn dance. 64. NP RAILROAD: ACROSS THE VALLEY A mural-in-a-day coordinated by Robert Walton, the painting represents an era when sagebrush and bunch grass grew rampant on the Valley oor.

67. YAKAMA LEADERS This mural is located high on the 88 Cents Store building at Toppenish and Washington Avenues, on the south wall, depicting Yakama Indian Nation leaders of the early days. 68. YAKAMA NATION TREATY SIGNING OF 1855 This Mural-in-aDay was designed in three panels by Roger Cooke and painted on the Legends Casino building in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the signing. 69.

FROM FIELD TO MARKET Located on the wall facing East Toppenish Avenue on the new Food Bank building, this three-panel mural designed by Bill Ross depicts some local farmers harvesting their crops, trading them for goods and cash at a Toppenish Grocery store, which then sold the produce to the public. Toppenish had many of these small grocery stores serving the towns neighborhoods. 71.

Museum Celebrates Our Role As Hop Producer

Drive around the Yakima Valley, especially the Moxee and Toppenish areas, and you may notice elds of plants growing up row after row of poles. The typical visitor reaction is: What the heck are those? Those are hops, which are used in brewing beer. They give beer its bitter avor. During a visit to the Toppenish area, be sure to check out the American Hop Museum, located at 22 South B St. in Toppenish. It is the only hop museum in the nation, and it celebrates the history of hop growing in the region and current production. Using photos, historic equipment and artifacts, the American Hop Museum features striking exhibits and intriguing displays, and a unique gift shop highlighting an array of items devoted to the history and future of hop cultivation. The museum is open May 1 through Sept. 30, Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $3 for adults, families $7, and members and children under 5 are free. Hops are grown around the world, but in the United States most all are grown right here in the Yakima Valley. The area has prime growing conditions for hops: rich volcanic soil, mountain water and long sun-lled days. The museum chronicles the history of the American hop industry from its early days. Hop production began long ago in the New England colonies, and they were grown on Manhattan Island in New York as early as 1607. The rst hops in Washington came to Puyallup, then to the Cowiche-Ahtanum area near Yakima in 1865. Production has increased steadily over the years. In 1920 there were 1,129 acres; that increased to 4,600 acres in 1940. After World War I, export demand far exceeded supply, so new elds were planted allowing Pacic

Coast growers to dominate the market. Harvest is a crucial part of hop production, as they must be harvested at the proper stage of development to insure highest quality. In the late 19th and early 20th century, as many as 12,000 pickers were employed. Then in the 1940s the industry transitioned to the use of motorized portable machines. Later the industry transported hop vines and cones to stationary picking machines and driers. Hops enter commerce and are used in a variety of forms including dried cones in large bales, hop pellets, hop extract, etc. The Yakima Valley produced 50 percent of U.S. totals in 1963, increasing to 70 percent in 1970. Today that has increased to 75 percent. There are currently about 32,000 acres of hops in the nation, supplying about 25 percent of the worlds hops The American Hop Museum building has its own history; it was originally

For years, the Toppenish railroad depot was the transportation center of the community. Built in 1911 by the Northern Pacic Railway, it ran passengers for 50 years. With the rise of automobiles, it stopped passenger service from Toppenish in 1961.
Railway Museum Is A Piece Of The Past

Later, it fell into disuse and was boarded up. But locals wanted to bring it back to life. Finally in 1989, the Yakima Valley Rail and Steam Museum Association was formed and leased the building. After much refurbishing, it opened as a museum in

Hop Museum
City Of Toppenish
ert and Shirley Banta came to the Yakima Valley to observe current hop production practices . Later they invited some local growers to visit them in Cooperstown, where they showed them the historic site of hop production there from 1800-1920. They saw old machines and other relics, and soon some of it was brought to Toppenish to be in a museum. Restoration on the building nished in 1994. There are many varieties of hops throughout the world. Each variety has a distinctive signature combining cultivation qualities, bitterness, avor and aroma, lending uniqueness to the beer in which it is used. Until the middle of this century, the traditional European hop-growing areas each grew one variety only, based on agricultural and climatic conditions. The variety that proved most prolic and hardy when grown in a particular soil and climate became dominant. For more information, visit www.americanhopmuseum.org

Sunnyside is well-known for its big dairies and as the headquarters for Darigold, but there is a lot more going on there than milk and cheese. Did you know that NASA astronaut Bonnie J. Dunbar has her roots in the area? She graduated from Sunnyside High School in 1967. Sunnyside also holds many annual events and is home to a large wildlife population. Sunnyside is famous for its Cinco de Mayo celebration every year, which includes a big parade. Typically the city ropes off two blocks of the downtown area for food, clothing, arts and crafts and other vendors. Live entertainment is ongoing. Every December is also Sunnysides famous Lighted Farm Implement Parade. The A&E network once named the event one of the Top 10 such parades in the United States. The festive occasion was the rst of its kind in the area, starting the tradition in 1989. The parade includes farm implements: combines, boom trucks, sprayers, swathers, grape pickers, and all types of tractors decorated with many colorful lights. About 70 entries are expected with 25,000 spectators. Abundant Wildlife The Sunnyside area is also home to diverse wildlife at the Sunnyside-Snake River Wildlife Area. It is the perfect spot for hunters, bird watchers, hikers, horseback riders and school eld trips. It includes 18 units that span over 20,000 acres in multiple counties. The land rst began being acquired as a wildlife area in the late 1940s to protect natural habitats and offer recreation to the public. The Sunnyside Wildlife Area has earned the designation as one of the states important bird areas from Audubon Washington. The management headquarters are located near Sunnyside, a site made up of 2,800 acres of a collection of small agricultural elds, interspersed with diverse habitats. Six ponds or lakes vary in size from 15 to 100 surface acres and the Yakima River runs through the area; evidence of old river oxbows can also be found throughout. Vegetation ranges from wetland species to upland perennial grasses and forbs to mature riparian woodlands.

Horseshoe Lake is an important resting place for wintering waterfowl. The largest lake, 100-acre Giffen Lake, is invaded by white lily pads. Depending on the time of year, observation opportunities include birds of prey, eagles, shorebirds, songbirds, upland birds, wading birds, waterfowl, deer, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians. The key to great birding in Sunnyside is timing. Arrive in the summer and birds will be hard to nd, but show up in the fall and the area will be hopping with waterfowl., There are two main sites where visitors can park at the Sunnyside headquarters. To access site 1: From I-82, take exit 67 and drive south on Midvale Road for 3.8 miles. Turn right on Holaday Road. Drive one mile. Parking lot is on left.

Other exhibits include wood carvings, story-board historic photos and a display of military uniforms and memorabilia from both world wars.

It is perhaps the oldest building in the area.

Small Community Provides A Must Stop For Tourists

When visiting the Yakima Valley, be sure to schedule a stop at Zillah a town full of wineries, a quaint historic landmark, community events and plenty of friendly small-town folks. Founded in 1891, the town was started at the completion of the Sunnyside Canal project, which ultimately delivered water from the Yakima River to the Lower Valley to allow for growing more crops. Walter Granger, superintendent of the canal company, chose the town site. The town was named for Miss Zillah Oakes, daughter of Thomas Fletcher Oakes, president of the Northern Pacic Railway, which backed the building of the canal. The name came about because the girl would scream and cry on the way to the new town, and her father promised to name the town after her if she would stop. Teapot Dome It took years of planning and careful execution, but moving the Teapot Dome Gas Station Historic Landmark has been worth it. The iconic teapotshaped building that once sat off the freeway near Zillah is now at home in from the downtown core and no one to keep a constant eye on it, something might happen. We were afraid it could be vandalized, she said. The small building is on the National Historic Register (since 1985) and is also on the Most Endangered Historic Properties List with Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. After a long and somewhat cumbersome process the city was able to bring our beloved Teapot into town in the spring of 2012, Bounds explained. The ribbon cutting took place in July, and the city set about restoring the building. Also in the area is now a small park and public restrooms. While that has been the big project for Zillah for 2012, Bounds added that there is more to come for the Teapot in 2013. The city plans to meet with individuals and groups during 2013 in an effort to nd volunteers to man the teapot during tourism season so that it can function as a visitors center.
its city limits. Since the move, it has brought more visitors into town who tend to linger more in the surrounding area than just drive by. I see so many tourists out there taking pictures, said Sharon Bounds, Zillah city clerk. The city purchased it in 2007 and always wanted to move it; city ofcials worried that being so far

Teapot
City Of Zillah
The Teapot Dome has a long, interesting history. It was handcrafted by Jack Ainsworth in 1922 as a memorial to the Teapot Dome oil scandal during the President Warren Harding administration. Later because of the construction of I-82, it had to be moved, but was also hit by a car and was rebuilt. It was located at 14691 Yakima Valley Highway for many years until being moved to Zillah.

Granger is one of the easiest communities to nd when traveling along Interstate 82 or Highway 223 through the Yakima Valley just look for the dinosaurs. These prehistoric creatures have become one of the dening identities of the rural community of about 3,000 people. Why dinosaurs? Why not! Neighboring cities were all making their niche in the Valley with different themes. Since mastodon tusks and teeth were found at the Granger clay pit in 1958, going prehistoric just seemed tting. The citys public works department was given the challenge of producing something along a dinosaur theme. In 1994, crew members created the rst dinosaur, a baby brontosaurus. There are now about 30 dinosaurs around town. Each individual dinosaur is constructed of a steel frame covered with wire mesh and then covered in cement. After smoothing the cement, a coat of highquality paint is added which brings the

dinosaur to life. Dinosaurs are scattered throughout the city and parks. The man-made pond includes a plesiosaurus and a volcanoshaped water fountain. The pond is surrounded by a walking path measuring approximately 5/8ths of a mile. Take a nice stroll on the path and view the Yakima River at the same time. Dino-N-A-Day is held the rst Saturday in June each year at the Hisey Dinosaur Park on Main Street from 9 a.m. to approximately noon and coincides with Toppenishs Mural in a Day. Visitors are invited to help apply cement, and complimentary gloves are provided. The city-owned Dinostore concession stand is open during the event, serving up snacks and treats. Adjacent to the Dinostore are the public restrooms that are housed in a building that resembles an active volcano. Other annual events include the Granger Cherry Festival, which began in 1948, and is hosted by the Granger Lions Club. The Cherry Festival gets under way at
the end of April. The event, held at the Main City Park, includes a carnival, entertainment, games, and vendors. The Washington State Menudo CookOff Championships and Menudo Festival takes place mid-September and is centered on the famous Mexican soup made of beef tripe. Some of the best recipes in the state can be found in Granger during the annual festival, competing for top honors and bragging rights, along with endless amounts of the dish. The festival also includes live music, entertainment and a variety of vendors lined up at Hisey Dinosaur Park. While youre in Granger, be sure to check out Grangers Scout Cabin, which is located next to city hall. It has many historical pieces and pictures. Contact City Hall for further information. Granger was founded in 1902 and named after Walter Granger, superintendent of the Washington Irrigation Company, who also laid out the cities of Zillah and Sunnyside.

The Central Washington Agricultural Museum is an 18-acre, open-air museum located in Fulbright Park in Union Gap and a tribute to the areas farmers. In an effort to reserve the agricultural heritage of the Yakima Valley and Washington state, the late Ted Falk rst introduced the idea of a farm equipment museum to a small group of interested people in November 1978. The next year the Central Washington Agricultural Museum was founded. The large task of collecting and restor-

ing antique farm machines and tools used to cultivate the land has been the passion of the museum members for all these years. They have painstakingly restored their fathers, grandfathers and greatgrandfathers equipment. Displays include antique tractors, sorters, harvesters, over 3,000 antique hand tools, a working sawmill and everything you can think of having to do with life on the farm. This museum strives to showcase the strength and ingenuity of the American farmer through the preservation and display of a multitude of original agricultural artifacts New interactive exhibits include a 1930s replica gas station, general store and a drive-through area for buses. At an irrigation exhibit you will learn how this emi-arid desert landscape was transformed into one of the most fertile growing areas in the world. At the Amos Cabin, you may be met by someone dressed as a pioneer, explaining what life was like as a settler in the Wild West. New and exciting exhibits are in the works, providing new and unique opportunities for children and families to learn the history of agriculture. The hope is to leave each visitor with an understanding of what it used to take to feed America in a real and tangible way and experience the settling of the West as it really was, farming the land and planting crops in order to survive.

Demo Garden Is A Union Gap Haven

The Master Gardeners of Yakima offer a lot to the area diagnostic help to locals, a beautiful demonstration garden for visitors and free summer classes for all ages. The demo garden, located at Ahtanum Youth Park in Union Gap, has been a labor of love since 2005. Back then, it was little more than a patch of dirt. With a lot of work and a lot of love, the group has transformed it into quite an impressive display. At the demo garden, local Master Gardeners gather weekly and tend to the plants, bring plants from their own gardens to add to the space, and experiment with different garden designs. The garden is meant to inspire area gardeners and is open for visitors. Those interested are welcome to come out for a visit for a self-guided tour; there is a kiosk with information. It offers many different areas a childrens garden overowing with marigolds and pathways, a Victorian garden whispering with calming blue hues, an herb garden, a rose garden, a xeric garden housed with a dry river and native brush, raised beds that local childrens groups have been working on, a woods walk featuring shade plants and much more. Members stress theirs is a green garden of almost all recycled or contributed materials. Donated orchard props were made into a garden bench, donated lumber is waiting for transformation into a white picket fence, and the mulch throughout the garden was leftovers from the county. Members share cuttings from their plants at home. The Master Gardeners of Yakima offers summer classes at the garden on select Saturdays during 2013. Classes start at 10 a.m. at the demo garden
