Welcome!
We’re so proud to be hosting the 116th Irrigation Festival in our community. Each year we celebrate the rich crops produced by our vibrant farming town that is nourished by the water that KAPETAN flows through the Dungeness Valley. This wealth of water has pulled our surrounding communities together in celebration for the past 116 years. As citizens of this amazing city, we invite you to experience the wonderful opportunities of our small town and celebrate with us during the first full week of May. The Sequim Irrigation Festival is a family oriented and fun event and as such it would not be possible without our large “family” within the community. An event of this magnitude would not be possible without the endless hard work
of the festival board of directors, the countless volunteer hours by individuals and local service clubs, the businesses that recognize the value of community service and the continuous support of our sponsors. This recipe of teamwork truly makes this a “hometown” community event. Therefore, we hope you will enjoy your festival and invite your friends and family to take part in Washington’s oldest continuing festival as we believe it to be an experience that everyone can enjoy. We hope each of you will take advantage of the chance to take home a souvenir pin, button, note cards, T-shirt or sweatshirt to remember your time with us. Festival merchandise is available at the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Center and other area stores. Let the festivities begin!
Deon D. Kapetan
What a great place we all live in. Year after year, for 116 years to be precise, the folks of our small, friendly, rural city continue to churn out the best community festival anywhere. Sunshiny smiles will be in abundance as we all gather once again, basking in the beauty of our valley, to celebrate our remarkable heritage during the Sequim Irrigation Festival. It is said we live in a place “where water is wealth” but HAYS clearly our greatest resource is people. The vitality the good folks of our blessed valley bring on every year to produce this annual community party makes the sun shine here as much as the Olympics blocking the rain clouds do. It is no wonder that those who visit here often come back to stay. How could you resist when all around you feel the vibe of our engaged community? So come on, jump in feet first and let the freshness of Sequim wash over you, putting a mountain-stream-fresh smile all over your face! On behalf of everyone here at City Hall, I want to offer a warm, heartfelt invitation to our friends, neighbors and visitors to rejoice with us in our sweet, 116th celebration of all that is Sequim: “Where water and people are wealth.”

EVENTS, from page 5
For the 45th annual SHS musical, the presentation will be a revival of the successful production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” written by the dream team of Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Tim Rice (lyrics). Based on the biblical story of Joseph who was sold into Egypt by his brothers, it is a story of jealousy, adversity and forgiveness. The show contains a running musical commentary by three narrators (played by Rachel Chumley, Stephanie Dunbar and Jessica Lauritzen) with very little spoken dialogue. Much of the show is written “tongue-in-cheek,” which will keep the audience in stitches. But there are some very tender, heartfelt moments, too. The SHS production, directed by Robin Hall and Christy Rutherford, includes a cast of approximately 40 high school and middle school students, 40 grade school students divided into two children’s choruses, a small adult chorus and one teacher. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $8 for seniors, children and students with SHS ASB cards. Opening night Friday, May 6, will be “Family Night” with $8 for all tickets or only $25 for a family (all living under one roof ). Tickets are available at Pacific Mist Books and Frick’s Drug in Sequim and Port Book and News in Port Angeles, from cast members and at the door 45 minutes before each performance.
9. Crazy Daze Breakfast Friday, May 13 • 7 a.m. Sunland Clubhouse The irrigation ditches were designed and developed by D.R. Callen. Because the concept was so far out, he was dubbed “Crazy Cal.” Crazy Daze is Sequim’s way of celebrating and honoring Crazy Cal. During the festival you may see businesses in downtown Sequim dressing crazy or decorating their windows and stores in a zany manner. Businesses and individuals come in costume, perform skits and have a fun time. Awards are given to best skits. This year’s winner of the Crazy Callen Award will receive the roaming Crazy Callen trophy, which is a sign of team spirit as it is displayed in your office or place of business for the next year. Other awards include a pizza party for your office or friends (up to 20 people), and other fun activities. Tickets are $10 and are available at Tessa's Boutique, KeyBank (Sequim), Sound Community Bank and KSQM.

Logging Show, Truck and Tractor Pull Friday, May 13 • 4-10 p.m. Saturday, May 14 • 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Blake Avenue lot Now in its 23rd year, the Logging Show has grown to be a spectacular event and family favorite that people from all over the Northwest look forward to attending.

The wrist bands will cost $25 for all day. This year’s carnival is provided by the Davis Family Carnival, “one of the safest, cleanest and finest carnivals that ever traveled the West.” The most important fact the community should know about this wonderful carnival is that it shares some of the profits directly with the Irrigation Festival. 2011 is the first year for the Davis Carnival, and it will carry on the tradition of donating many of the proceeds to the Irrigation Festival. Come out and have fun at the carnival.

By Queen Taylor Willis
Two Rotary clubs support parade
Sixteen candles. A great milestone in life, but this year for us in Sequim it is a reminder of a proud tradition. That’s right, this year we celebrate the 116th annual Irrigation Festival, or should I say 100 and SWEET 16! The royalty princesses Abigail, Stephanie and Marissa, and I, Queen Taylor, are absolutely stoked to have this fantastic opportunity to represent our beloved town of Sequim as the 2011 Royalty Court. Just as young people turn the momentous age of 16 and celebrate the gift of life and youth, we here in Sequim celebrate the gift of water and prosperity given to us by the early pioneers through irrigation. The festival gets our little city hopping with all sorts of lively events that families and folks of all ages can enjoy. Grab some cotton candy and join us at the grand parade for a delightful community tradition! Get ready to ride the carousel at our colorful and riveting carnival! Prepare to be amazed by the local talent in such events as the Logging Show, the Strongman Competition and our very own high school’s operetta! If you think this is all, you are greatly deceived, my friends, for there are many more incredibly sweet events that one can relish! Come celebrate our beautiful, friendly home and rediscover for yourself what makes Sequim so SWEET!
Since 1950, the Sequim Rotary Club (noon club) has been responsible for organizing and handling the Irrigation Festival Grand Parade on the second Saturday of May. Every year Rotary members manage more than 125 parade entries, walking the parade route. The parade follows Washington Street and starts at noon from Dunlap Avenue and finishes at Seventh Avenue. Come early, bring a seat or rent one from a friendly Rotarian and enjoy community fun at its best. Kids Day (Saturday, May 7) The Sequim Rotary Sunrise Club supports Kids Day. Four hours of fun, games and big trucks — all free for the entire family.

Sequim Irrigation Festival 2011
Sequim Gazette
History in the making Irrigation Festival board honors Sequim pioneers Grand Pioneer Gloria Jean Hendrickson Gockerell Gloria Jean Hendrickson Gockerell is excited to be named a Grand Pioneer for this year’s Irrigation Festival. Jean, as she likes to be called, was born in Sequim in 1927 to John “Jack” Hendrickson and his wife, Lillian (O’Brien). Jean’s parents lived in Sequim at the time she was born but her mother traveled to Tacoma for the birth. Jean’s parents lived on 10 acres on what is now Hendrickson Road; she said seven of those acres had tree stumps and she has early memories of listening to dynamite as her father cleared the stumps. Jean grew up helping out around the farm, mostly collecting eggs. She also learned how to cook from her mother, who never cooked on anything other than a wood stove. They watered their fruit trees and vegetables with water from the irrigation ditch and Jean recalls that her mother had a box she kept in the ditch to keep their milk, butter, meat and eggs cool. During raspberry season, Jean helped her parents pick raspberries that her father then sold to local buyers.
Jean graduated from Sequim High School in 1946 and worked at the Sequim Cafe as a waitress for two years. She then went to business school in Port Angeles and got a job as a telephone operator for Pacific Telephone and Telegraph in Sequim. At a dance in Port Angeles, Jean met her future husband, Elbridge “Gock” Gockerell. They were married in 1953. Jean and her husband lived in Port Angeles for five years before they moved to Olympia and then, in 1962, to Forks where he was the Olympic area manager for the Department of Natural Resources. After Elbridge retired, he and Jean returned to Sequim in 1987 “to dry out” — they built a home on 2.5 acres of land that had been part of her parents’ property. They still live there today. Jean and her husband raised three sons, Tim, Carl and Dan, and have eight grandsons, three greatgrandsons and one great-granddaughter. Jean has long been involved in her community, helping with Cub Scouts, getting involved with events at her church and working at the Forks Library. Jean said it is a great honor to be named a Grand Pioneer and she is looking forward to riding in the parade and waving to all her friends and neighbors.
Grand Pioneer Ronald Earl Priest
Grand Pioneer Gloria Jean Hendrickson Gockerell
Ronald Earl Priest, a lifelong resident of Sequim, was born to Irma (Secor) Priest and Earl Bennett Priest in 1931. He is a fourth-generation resident; his grandfather was Joseph Henry Priest and his great-grandfather was George Arad Priest. Ronald’s sister, Kathleen, died in 1983; his brother, Randy, still lives in Sequim. Ronald graduated from Sequim High School in 1950, worked in various logging jobs and then enlisted in the Navy in 1951. He was stationed in Astoria, Ore., and then assigned to the USS Rochester where he served two years during the Korean War. It was in Oregon that Ronald met and married Judy, to whom he has been married for nearly 56 years. While assigned to the USS Rochester, Ronald was able to visit many exotic ports of call in places like Singapore, Japan and Thailand. When Ronald was discharged in 1955, he and Judy returned to Sequim and he started working for the Rayonier Mill. Ronald and Judy purchased
Grand Pioneer Ronald Earl Priest
10 acres of land on Taylor 1 Cutoff Road and started Cu building a 16-foot by 20-foot buildi cabin. It was Christmas Eve when they finally were able move out of their temporary trailer and into the cabin. They decided to expand the cabin and over the years they used timber from Ronald’s father’s land up the road and used a portable saw mill. They cut timber and sawed boards, selling some and using some for the house. The lumber for the house cost $50 and the building permit was $1. They had help from neighbors and friends and after 18 years the three-bedroom house was completed and they still live there today. Ronald and Judy have a daughter, two sons, nine grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. Judy is an artist well-known in the community and she and Ronald share a love of ballroom dancing. For more than 15 years, they drove to Edmonds every Monday night to dance; they still take lessons and go dancing locally on Friday and Saturday nights. Ronald is a lifetime member of the VFW, a member of the Elks Club and the Port Angeles Eagles Club. He enjoys hunting and fishing, camping and hiking. Ronald said he was a bit surprised to be named a Grand Pioneer but noted that his grandfather, Joseph Henry Priest, was a Grand Pioneer in 1956. His aunts Maude and Mary (Stone) also have been named Pioneers.
Honorary Pioneer Annalee Hermann Annalee Hermann, a Sequim resident since 1947, has been named Honorary Grand Pioneer for the
Sequim Irrigation Festival 2011
Sequim Gazette 116th Irrigation Festival. Annalee was born in Laramee, Wyo., in 1925 to Lee and Anna Struble. Her father was a “railroader” and her mother was a homemaker. Annalee had two brothers and one sister and they all lived on a homestead of 640 acres that made up part of the ranch along with other uncles’ and aunts’ homesteads. When Annalee was in the sixth grade, the family moved to Rochester where she attended school for three years. The family then moved back to Laramee, where Annalee finished her high school education. In 1943, Annalee married Ward Ball and in 1947 they moved to Port Angeles, where Annalee’s sister lived. They then moved to a one-bedroom home on Atterberry Road, where she and her husband raised their children. By the time they had four children, the small home was getting rather cramped, so they built a new house on the same property and moved into it in 1957, just in time for a fifth child. Annalee still lives in that same house. Annalee and her husband divorced in 1961 and she raised her five children while she worked at Southwoods Department store on Washington Street in Sequim. She worked there for 20 years, until the store closed. In 1974, Annalee married Trev Hermann, a logger, mechanic and school bus driver. Trev died in 1998. Annalee had five children — R.T., Gayle, Gary, Sandy and Julie; Sandy died five years ago. Annalee has 20 grandchildren and an amazing 25 great-

grandchildren with three more on the way. Annalee has been a member of the Philanthropic Educational Organization for Women for many years and also is actively involved with the local Homemakers Club. She also has volunteered at the Clallam County Fair for more than 30 years and has been a member of the Trinity United Methodist Church for more than 50 years. Annalee said that when she first arrived in Sequim the area was “simply agriculture” with youths working summer jobs picking strawberries or raspberries. She described how the area has grown and knows that “things have to change” but likes that people are getting back to “local.” Annalee always has shopped locally and back in the day they raised their own beef, had a milk cow and raised and canned their own vegetables and fruit. Annalee still raises her own vegetables and cans and freezes what she grows. Annalee said she was surprised to be named an Honorary Pioneer. “If you live long enough, these accolades just come to you.” She thinks this is a “real honor.” It’s obvious that Annalee loves where she lives and looks fondly on her time in Sequim. She said, “I can’t think of anyplace I’d rather have raised my kids.”
Honorary Pioneer Morris Quinn Morris Quinn has been named an Honorary Grand Pioneer for the 2011 Irrigation Festival. Morris moved to Sequim in 1936 and has been attending Irrigation Festivals yearly since then. He has fond memories, especially, of the maypole dance that took place every year. He is following in the footsteps of his mother, who previously was named an Honorary Grand Pioneer. Morris was born in 1927 in an area near Mount Rainier known as Mossy Rock. His father was Owen Pat Quinn and his mother was Nawasa Workman, who was part Cherokee. Morris grew up with two brothers, Glen Pat (deceased) and Gail. In 1936, the family moved to Sequim where Morris’ grandparents already lived. Morris’ father bought a 20-acre farm and a herd of milk cows and he later bought a milk bottling plant and delivered milk from Blyn to Port Angeles. While he was in high school, Morris had to choose between playing football and working for Vern Mantle at his farm. The farm job paid $175 per month so football had to wait. Morris married Pauline Hill when he was 19 and she was 18 and his father helped him buy farmland on McComb Road in 1951. The

property was 40 a acres and came with wi 13 cows. To help p pay for expenses, Morris took at job at the Carlsborg Mill and stayed there for 15 years while still taking care of the milking chores before and after work each day. Morris sold his herd in 1960 and went to beauty school in Longview. When he returned, he bought a new herd and also worked as a beauty operator with his wife at Quinn’s Magic Mirror on Seal Street. He did that for eight years, taking care of farm work at the same time. Morris went to work for PenPly while Pauline stayed and ran the beauty shop but he helped her out when she needed him. For a while, Morris was working at the beauty shop, working at PenPly and taking care of the dairy herd. He figures he was getting about three hours sleep per night. In 1989, Morris sold his dairy herd and bought beef cows. Pauline died in 1998 but Morris still lives in his home on McComb Road, sharing it now with his companion Judy. Morris had three children; his two sons, Marlon and Gary, are both deceased; his daughter Christi lives nearby and is actively involved with the farm. Morris has two granddaughters, two grandsons and one great-grandson. Morris still works the farm and can be seen each summer mowing, baling and stacking hay. He is the kind of man who exemplifies the hard-working pioneer spirit that has made Sequim the place it is.

Sequim Gazette
. . . about Sequim irrigation With an average rainfall of only 17 inches a year, the early North Olympic Peninsula pioneers found the Sequim prairie a difficult place to cultivate. Their efforts were fruitful in the spring, but by summer the lack of rain turned the vegetation brown and the land dry. Four early settlers are credited with an idea and a plan which changed that. On July 7, 1895, James W. Grant and his wife, Harriet, hosted a dinner attended by D. R. Callen, H. Hucksfor, and Capt. Thomas Jones to discuss a plan to divert water from the Dungeness River to the prairie. Callen had lived in Colorado and had seen first-hand that irrigation could be a practical solution to their problem. The group agreed and developed a strategy that included a network of hand-dug ditches from the river to the dry areas. Callen was known as “Crazy” Callen for this idea. Neighbors actually started a petition to declare the men of the group insane. Despite the ridicule, 16 others joined the group and worked all winter to dig the first canal. There were delays, difficulties, lack of money and tools, but these men remained determined to complete the ditch. The first channel was dug on the east side of the Dungeness River and came into the center of Sequim, near what is now Sequim High School. The Sequim Irrigation District was formed in July 1895. They voted to apply for water rights from the state auditor and state engineer to use water from the Dungeness River for purposes of irrigation. The papers were filed and the necessary approval was obtained. The first ditch was opened on May 1, 1896. The occasion was marked with a public picnic and celebration and has continued to be celebrated every year in May. The efforts of these early citizens provided the definitive tool for the agricultural success from that beginning to recent years. Other irrigation companies were established throughout the 25 years that followed the initial water rights given the Sequim Prairie Ditch Company. Segments of the first irrigation network still are in use while irrigation companies have combined other channels to make new waterways. Maintenance has included rerouting ditches and coursing water to new underground pipes. Editor’s note: Did You Know explores the history of Sequim, the Dungeness Valley and Clallam County.

There are many beaches for playing in the sand and searching for crabs under rocks. I love the sweet scent of lavender but my favorite is lavender lemonade from the lavender festival. Finally, Sequim is a sweet place to live because of the beautiful views. We have the Olympic mountains to one side and the Strait to the other.

Grand Marshal Emily Westcott
Grand Marshal The Grand Marshal for the 2011 Irrigation Festival is Emily Westcott, known by many in the area for her tireless efforts on behalf of the community. She was born in Tacoma where she grew up, attended school and lived for 23 years. After graduating from Washington State University with a degree in physical education, Emily moved to Olympia and took a job teaching physical education and health in Centralia at Maple Lane, a state correctional school. She worked there for 10 years, while simultaneously studying for and earning a master’s degree in counseling from Oregon State in 1970. In 1979, Emily moved to the Olympic Peninsula to take a job as vice principal
at Port Angeles High School. At the time, she thought P.A. was “at the end of the world” and it took her a couple of years to get used to the small-town atmosphere after living in Olympia. Emily lived in Port Angeles for about six months and then moved to Sequim where she has lived ever since. After marrying Ken Whitney, Emily left PAHS for a short while before returning to work, teaching at Choice, an alternative school. She worked there from 1987 until her retirement in 1998. Ken owned the Red Ranch Motel and Restaurant and after their divorce in 1991, Emily ran the restaurant from 1993-2003. For about five years of that time, she was working at the restaurant

in the mornings, travelling to P.A. to teach and then returning to Sequim to work at the restaurant. In 1995, Emily started visiting friends on Orcas Island but it was a long five-hour trip each way. One day, she took a chartered flight and arrived in 25 minutes. She thought, “I can do this,” and signed up for ground school at Wright Bros. Aviation, becoming a licensed pilot in August 1996. She has been flying ever since and regularly donates flights for local charities to auction off for fundraising. Although she is “retired” from the school system, Emily is busier than most people with full-time jobs. In addition to many community activities, she works as a substitute teacher and especially enjoys working at Sequim High School. Emily started working with the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce in 1993 and served on the chamber board for many years. One of the projects for which she is well known is organizing colorful flower baskets and containers on and around Washington Street. Emily said that when she was at the Red Ranch, there was a vacant, weed-filled lot across the street and she organized a group to get it cleaned up and beautified. From there, they moved down the street, little by little, spreading the flower baskets along the street. In 1997, she began getting sponsorships for the baskets ($100 per basket) and raises about $12,000 per
year for 130-plus baskets, barrels and mini-gardens. The flowers and baskets themselves come from Sequim High School students who grow the flowers from seed. Emily also is responsible for Christmas decorations at the Bank of America Park at Washington Street and Sequim Avenue and at other locations throughout town. Emily obviously is a woman who gets things done and knows how to get people working toward a common goal. She admitted that if someone stops to chat with her as she is putting up decorations or flowers, they’ll get put to work. For the past 17 years, Emily has worked with the Irrigation Festival, using her considerable persuasive abilities to tackle fundraising and get sponsors for the various festival events. Emily lights up when she talks about her current involvement with the Sequim Museum & Arts Center. She got involved on the board after being asked by Bob McCrorie and has been president for the past two years. Some of her recent accomplishments include working on behalf of MAC as it has remodeled its exhibit space on Cedar Street, starting a field day (outdoor-themed history exhibit) and initiating a large yard sale/swap meet to raise funds. Emily said that what she loves about Sequim is the small-town atmosphere and the fact that in this “little pond” she can get to know so many people.
Because Sequim has that small-town feel, she can take pride in knowing that her efforts can make a big difference to the community. “It’s fun doing things to make Sequim a better place,” she said. Emily describes Sequim as a “very charitable community that gives until it bleeds.” Since Emily arrived in Sequim in 1979, there obviously have been changes, but she sees most of the changes in a positive light. The downtown is more attractive, the Boys & Girls Club has been a positive addition that has had an impact on many children and families, and there are more cultural offerings at places like MAC and Olympic Theatre Arts. Emily was named Citizen of the Year in 2004. She said she had been nominated for about 10 years and was beginning to feel like soap opera actress Susan Lucci before she finally was selected. Emily said she was very surprised and pleased to be selected as Grand Marshal for the 116th Irrigation Festival. “I thought you had to live here longer,” she said. She is very excited and looking forward to participating in festival events. So, as you drive through town and appreciate the colorful flower baskets or marvel at the holiday decorations, think of Emily Westcott and if you stop to say hi to her, be prepared to lend her a hand.

Motor oil with the best of both worlds. Performance and value in a high-quality motor oil. That’s what drivers and mechanics get with 76 Super Synthetic Blend Motor Oil, a part-synthetic engine oil designed or today’s vehicles under all driving conditions. While others offer conventional oil as their first choice, 76 delivers more value and advanced performance with Super Synthetic Blend. A high degree of performance Thermal stability is critical, especially for year-round driving. At high temperatures, better thermal stability means less chance of viscosity breakdown and fewer deposits. At low temperatures, better pumpability means engine oil gets to critical engine parts quicker. The part-sunthetic formulation in 76 Super Synthetic Blend brings enhanced thermal stability at high temperatures and better pumpability at low temperatures compared with conventional engine oils, for extra protection in all driving conditions. Cleaner engines, clear advantages Because synthetic base stocks have higher oxidation resistance, 76 Super Synthetic Blend provides improved resistance to oil thickening and fewer deposits for a cleaner-running engine. It protects against sludge and varnish formation.
