New pan for Fourth of July cherry pie

BY SEBASTIAN MORAGA qvprsports@gmail.com After 59 years of cherry pie, it was time for a change.

Not a change to apple, pecan or key lime – certain things are sacrosanct around Exit 149 of Interstate 90.

But the pan used to bake the annual Fourth of July pie in George? Not so much.

“It was getting harder and harder to clean,” said George Community Hall board member Jack Foglesong, who helped deliver a new pie pan to the George Community Hall.

The old pan, made of plain metal, had been used for 59 consecutive years to make what is marketed as the world’s largest cherry pie, in honor of our nation’s father and his fabled cherry tree. After almost six decades, it had collected quite a bit of rust.

The rust had not affected the baked goods, but it had slowly begun to force the cooks and helpers to move quickly.

“If you clean the pan one night and do the pie the next night, you can get rust start-

Sebastian Moraga/Post-Register

The pie pan used for the past 59 Fourth of July cherry pies has been replaced by a new stainless steel pie pan seen here. ing on it that quick,” he said.

The idea of getting a new pan had floated around for a while. Earlier this year, Jack called Quincy’s Pioneer Metal and asked how much it would cost to get a new pan.

The new pan, worth about $3,000, measures 8 feet long

by 8 feet wide and 6 inches deep. It’s the same size as the old one, but this one is made of stainless steel, so it should last forever, Foglesong said.

The old pan might become a conversation piece of sorts at the Community Hall, Foglesong said, adding

that it might be sandblasted and powder-coated and then hung at the Hall, with an inscription noting its years of service to the annual George party.

The Community Hall members are still discussing how to raise the money

to give the old pan a makeover. A Gofundme campaign served to collect funds to get the new pan, so that might be an option, although nothing has been decided yet.

The Gofundme campaign raised $3,080 out of the $3,140 needed.

Thaemert Farms, now with a third generation

BY TED ESCOBAR QVPR contributor When Cleo and Rita Thaemert went through the rough and tumble work of clearing virgin land for a farm at Roads Q and 5 Southwest in 1958, they were just trying to eke out a living.

It is doubtful they envisioned the Thaemert Farms LLC farming operation that has resulted from their meager beginnings. Thaemert Farms LLC specializes in potato chip potatoes – 4,000 acres to be exact.

Cleo and Rita are still alive, but they are retired. Cleo struggles to get around, having to depend on the aid of a walker. Their three sons run the operation now.

“Dad gets out here two or three times a week,” youngest son Kevin said.

The third generation is starting to take its place in the family operation. So far that includes Todd’s children – Jason, 23, and Ashley, 20.

Kevin has two daughters.

Heidi, 26, lives in Phoenix and appears to be set for life in the Nordstrom’s world.

See Thaemert, page 7

This may look like a potato field to most people, but to the Thaemerts involved in the Thaemert Farms operation today, it is a beautiful field of flowers. From left, the family members are Greg, Ashley, Todd, Kevin and Jason Thaemert.

Thaemert, from page 6 Robin, 22, of Ellensburg, recently finished college, and there is a chance she’ll come back.

The Thaemerts refer to the operation as a family farm. It is, and it isn’t. It’s really an unofficial conglomeration of five separate entities.

Kevin and Todd are partner owners of Thaemert Farms LLC. It is a business entity that conducts potato production, but it has no land of its own. It rents land from Cleo and Rita, Greg, Todd and Kevin. It also rents from other land owners.

Cleo and Rita came to Quincy from southern Idaho in 1956. They were attracted by irrigated farming, which was made possible by Grand Coulee Dam and Banks Lake.

Two years later, they moved out to their permanent home a few miles south of George.

“It was a rough life,” Kevin said. “They both did everything.”

The first crop was dry beans. The first potatoes came in 1961. The couple had a small contract with Nalley’s to grow 5 acres of Kennebec potatoes, which had been propagated for chipping.

Greg, 62, Todd, 55, and Kevin, 54, started working on the farm as early as 7 years of

7

The home place, which was carved out of wilderness by Cleo and Rita Thaemert, hosts six of the 19 potato storage units the Thaemerts need each year. The last load of last year’s crop left the premises on June 20 on a truck headed for Frito-Lay in Vancouver.

age. They picked rocks from fields that were about to be planted, pulled weeds and hoed the bean fields. They were driving tractors somewhere between the ages of 10 and 12.

The cool thing about the brothers today is how well

they get along. They admit there are some not-so-good moments but never enough to knock the operation off of its rails.

“It’s like a marriage,” Greg said. “You have to work at it.”

All three brothers partic-

ipated in the interview for this story, as did Jason and Ashley. The brothers laughed through much of it, remembering times past. Jason and Ashley were entertained and enlightened.

The three sons are college-educated. Todd and Kev-

in started farming on their own, with their father’s mentoring, right out of college.

They put Thaemert Farms LLC together in 1994. Greg, who earned a landscape architecture degree from Cal Poly, returned to the farm in 1996.

One of the reasons the family operation works is that the brothers have separate and distinct responsibilities. Todd grows the potatoes, Greg is the quality control and storage manager, and Kevin takes care of business matters.

The Frito-Lay contract was put together by Cleo in 1987.

He visited with a company representative in Vancouver about the possibility. The rep visited the farm and was impressed by the potato quality.

From the left, Cleo, Rita, Todd, Greg and Kevin Thaemert join Frito-Lay officials at the 2001 Frito-Lay Convention in Dallas, Texas, where the Thaemerts were recognized as grower of the year for the Western Region.

Thaemert, from page 7 “If I take you a load of potatoes, I expect to come back with a contract,” Cleo said to the rep.

He got that contract, for 250,000 hundred-pound

bags.

Today, Thaemert Farms produces for Kettle Chips and Tim’s Cascade as well as Frito-Lay. It ships potatoes to Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

The Thaemerts are con-

tracted to deliver 4,000 acres of potatoes a year. This year they are producing 2,750 acres themselves. They contracted other growers to come up with about 1,300 acres.

There are numerous varieties of potatoes referred to as round whites, which have been propagated for chip processing. About this much of one potato, as Kevin Thaemert indicates, will fill one snack size bag of chips. This variety is Atlantic.

Thaemert, from page 8 was 2.1 million hundredweight, or about eight times the original contract.

It’s Kevin who deals with the contracts and the numbers. Sometimes that requires creativity.

Frito-Lay won’t accept potatoes past a certain size. You can accomplish that by cutting the water and killing the plants before the potatoes become too large. Kevin chose another option, taking oversized potatoes to a company that supplies the popular West Coast hamburger chain In-n-Out. “They found these potatoes to be just right for their fries,” Kevin said.

While Kevin is out looking for markets, Todd makes sure the potatoes are there. He tries to keep soil moisture at 75-80 percent of soil capacity. After all, potatoes are 8590 percent water.

His challenges include the soils. He tries to find land that is uniform sandy or uniform loamy. Some sandy soil can require daily irrigation for one to two months in the heat of summer.

“If I have a piece of ground that is not uniform, I have to find a happy medium,” he said.

There are normally about 30 full-time, full-year employees at Thaemert Farms, with little turnover. They know what to do and how to do it, requiring little, if any supervision. “We really value our employees,” Kevin Thaemert said.

Sometimes, Todd said, he’s required to run the circle sprinkler with some valves closed.

Potatoes are rarely grown on the same ground in successive years. According to Kevin, that’s because potatoes

have a high nutrient demand.

“When you take something out of the ground, you have to put something back

in,” he said.

It’s normal for the Thaemerts to plant corn after potatoes, then wheat the third year of the rotation. The wheat comes off early enough that mustard can be grown in the same year.

The mustard is plowed under completely. When potatoes come back to that ground, it has been replenished with corn and wheat stubble as well.

Jason and Ashley must learn this rotation and numerous other aspects of potato production as they prepare for the future. And they are willing to start with simple but important chores.

Ashley cleaned and sanitized storage sheds the last two summers while attending college. This year she is monitoring soil moisture in the fields and is charged with weed control.

Jason did the same things the first couple of years. He also spent a couple of years learning machinery and its maintenance. Now he’s learning how to grow potatoes from his father.

Ashley is studying agricultural marketing and business at Washington State University. She hopes to eventually be part of the management.

Citizen of the Year happy to multi-task

BY SEBASTIAN MORAGA qvprsports@gmail.com With 40 years in town and a few more than that on planet Earth, George Citizen of the Year Debby Kooy says the work is never done.

Wearing as many hats as her schedule allows her to, Kooy and her husband, Elliot, have become staples of George life, a life she initially resisted when the news came that she was leaving Denver, Colo., for a small town near the Columbia River in Washington state.

The ’70s were coming to an end, and, “We were destined to live in the suburbs of the big city where it was comfortable to be anonymous. I had that all planned,” Kooy wrote in an email.

Instead, a couple of years later, around the end of the decade, her father-in-law asked them to move north so her husband could manage the family’s irrigation business. They arrived in George in a U-Haul truck and accompanied by their 10-month-old baby in March of 1980.

Eight weeks later, Mount St. Helens erupted.

Dusting themselves (and their home, and their new hometown’s streets, and their car) off, was a task big enough for anyone, but soon, Kooy began setting her sights on a task just as big: Turning George into something more than what it was.

“I began to wonder, ‘What’s wrong with George? What was wrong with this place? It had been so thoughtfully positioned on the major east-west thoroughfare, why hadn’t it developed into something reasonably attractive to highway travelers?’” she wrote. “Why wasn’t anyone taking advantage of the obvious potential of the place?”

As her interest in George grew, so did her family. In five years’ time, three had become seven. The thought of them growing up in a town that offered little spurred Kooy and her husband into action. In 1987, she joined the Georgettes, fittingly, introducing herself to the group during a Fourth of July celebration. Her first duties occurred inside a food booth. That, as it turned out, was just the beginning.

Elliot became a Community Hall member, then a City Council member, then the mayor for almost 30 years. Debby took on plenty of tasks as well, from the food booth to designing the big presidential cake for President’s Day and the giant cherry pie for the next year’s Fourth. Years of work coordinating both the Fourth and the work of the Community Hall followed, as well as the start of an art and pottery business.

“I felt welcomed and needed,” Debby wrote.

It wasn’t just the Fourth. George welcomed a new coffee house, a band See Citizen, page 11

“It wasn’t Debby Kooy that did all of this; it was the good Lord and my community, the people around me, among whom I find encouragement to keep looking for ways to make George a good place to live,” she wrote.

At the same time, she added, “I can’t deny that there are times when I would really prefer to just hunker down at my potter’s wheel and tell George, WA, to go away.

But it’s all about community.”

At the same time, she has come to love wearing so many hats.

“Living and participating in the George community has stretched and informed every capacity, gift and talent that God gave me,” she wrote. “I continue to want to press as much value into my community as I possibly can.”

Bluesman returns to George with new band

BY SEBASTIAN MORAGA qvprsports@gmail.com A Moses Lake High School product with Seattle roots now living in Wenatchee, musician Darnell Scott is no stranger to the music scene in Washington, and that includes George.

For the sixth time, Scott and the Darnell Scott band will bring its eclectic mixture of R&B and blues, a touch of gospel and a touch of folk, to the George Community Festival on July 4.

Scott, owner of a whimsical sense of humor, credits “the crazy uncle in the back room” for introducing him to music in the early 1970s with songs by all-time greats like Jimi Hendrix and Santana.

“I didn’t even really get Jimi until later on,” he said.

As he grew up, the psychedelic sounds were replaced by Motown fare, and as he entered his middle school years, he joined his school orchestra and played the cello. As high school beckoned, so did the desire to switch to a guitar.

“The girls were paying at-

tention to the guys playing the guitar,” he said. “Not the guy that was playing the cello.”

Nowadays, he and his band, self-described on his website as “the best-kept secret in Eastern Washington,” mix original compositions with cover tunes, with their own elements added in.

“When we cover somebody else, we do it our own way,” he said. “You don’t want to be a mechanical machine where you’re copying everyone else note by note.”

Still, the influence of those early songs he heard growing up remains in the music he’s making today.

Even the fact that he’s a blues musician is due to those early days’ sounds coming from the back room of the house.

“Remember my crazy uncle? He had a friend, his name was Willie and he was a big influence,” he said. “We used to go over to Willie’s house, and he would play nothing but the blues.”

The blues, described by Scott as stories of a good man

Darnell Scott, bluesman and a staple of the George community festival, returns for the sixth time to the show. feeling bad, is a simple type of music to learn, but “it ain’t easy.”

“I feel like through the blues I can express myself, get it all out there,” he said. “And when you play the blues, it’s you.

When I hear someone play the blues, I know who that person

is. You are out there and you can’t hide behind anything else.”

It’s fitting, said Scott, a Navy man, that a Fourth of July party includes a blues musician.

“It’s American, it’s part of America, and it should be celebrated,” he said.

Illusionist Jester a ‘born magician’

BY SEBASTIAN MORAGA qvprsports@gmail.com Yes, that’s his real name.

Like an ice cream salesman with the surname Cone, or like a fire chief surnamed Smoke (like Wenatchee had until not long ago), illusionist and magician Nate Jester carries with him a last name that is also indicative of his profession.

After 24 years in the business, the last name is more than an icebreaker.

To him, it’s a sign that he was meant to do this.

“I guess I was born to be a magi-

cian,” he said, later adding, “without a doubt.”

Not that some people have trouble understanding what he does. Jester says that when people hear what he does for a living, the response tends to be, “Really? A musician?”

Jester brings his tricks, skills and that appropriate last name to George’s Fourth of July celebration, the first-ever trip to the city for the Seattle-based performer, who made magic and illusions his full-time job about eight years ago.

Post Register Jester, from page 12 “I have a lot of different acts, I don’t just have the one show, but for the community festival, I plan on doing about 40 to 45 minutes of magic,” he said.

As a magician, he has traveled across the United States, although he prefers to stay local.

Jester is married to a food-and-beverage company exec and jokes about life with him, a magician.

“She probably thinks it’s the best thing in the world,” he said, “and that I have the most amazing job and am the most amazing husband.”

Jokes aside, Jester describes himself as someone who’s living the dream. Card tricks are

THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2017 his forte, but he delves into different areas of illusionism and magic. He has no desire to branch out into other areas of entertainment – he’s doing exactly what he wants to do, he says.

With fellow magicians headlining in Las Vegas, Jester says that that kind of venue has never motivated him.

Asked what his goal was, his Holy Grail, he said it’s not about the venue but about the experience of being there, entertaining an audience. So, until next week at least, the Holy Grail is a town 10 miles south of Quincy, he said.

A 2011 veteran of “America’s Got Talent,” he says the experience was great, but that he came along too early on the

show, at a time when close-up magic wasn’t allowed.

“You had to like saw a woman in half, big stuff, and I only had one trick that I could do, so they just let me do it and that was it,” he said. “Now they’ve run out of big-illusion guys and they let you get up close. They have called me for the past three years, but I can’t be on for a second run.

It’s news to them every time they call me.”

Magic remains a top-draw act even more than 100 years after Harry Houdini and Herrmann The Great.

“What makes my art so amazing is the element of surprise,” Jester said. “If you know how it’s going to end, it’s not as entertaining.”

Georgette spotlight: Glenys Stadelman

BY JEANNIE MORAGA QVPR contributor First, there was nothing.

Then there was a house and a farm. Then, much later, pounds and pounds of sausage.

Glenys and Tony Stadelman had purchased their property a few miles south of George in 1976. At the time, there were no buildings on the property.

Within two years, the empty lot had been replaced with the farm and the house, and George had become a destination for their growing family.

In 1978, the Stadelmans moved from the Hillsboro area of Oregon with three young children, ready to farm in their new community. Two more children rounded out the family and kept Glenys busy. By then, George had become their home.

Soon after moving into the area, Glenys was invited to join the Burkettes, the sister service club with the Georgettes. With three small children and no evening

childcare, she had day when funding to decline the invibecame available. tation.

The Stadelman family enjoys a yearly tradition of making sausage, usually in January. They freeze the venison or elk meat from their family’s hunting. Then, when their “Sausage Weekend” arrives, along with a houseful of family, they blend the meat with pork and get to work.

They make around 400 pounds in that weekend, which is split among the family members to enjoy.

Glenys said she hopes that when she and Tony no longer host the weekend at their home, their children will continue the tradition. She said it’s a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun.

“Everybody gets a kick out of it,” she said.
