Regulators approve mega-
dairy despite opposition
Continued from page 3
PENDLETON (AP) —
Despite vocal opposition
from environmentalists and
small farm advocates, Oregon
regulators have agreed to per-
mit the state’s second-largest
dairy in eastern Oregon.
The East Oregonian
reports that The Oregon
Department of Agriculture
and Department of
Environmental Quality on
Friday announced that they
have issued a wastewater
and manure permit for Lost
Valley Farm, which plans to
add 30,000 cows on 7,288
acres in Morrow County.
The mega-dairy can now
start milking cows sometime
in the next few weeks.
Oregon regulators
received more than 4,200
public comments about Lost
Valley’s proposal. Many
opponents criticized the
effect the dairy would have
on air and water quality.
Environmental groups argued
that the dairy could produce
as much waste as a mid-sized
city.

ate an 18th-century-looking
storybook of quilts. I am
going to design the leather-
bound book that will be held
up by an elegant book stand.”
The book will be avail-
able to browse through during

“When Dan was selected,
he asked to meet with the
Board to present his idea of
the storybook,” said Jeannette
Pilak, executive director of
the SOQS. “The board was
enthusiastic to Dan’s idea and,
through a series of meetings
with him, helped to develop
further how his idea would be
successfully implemented.
“What the Board appre-
ciated was Dan’s continued
look at the ongoing funding
needs of producing the free
Quilt Show event.”
SOQS has had a long rela-
tionship with the Rickards,
Clearwater Gallery, and The
Open Door. Both Clearwater
Gallery and The Open Door
are presenting sponsors of the
annual Fiber Arts Stroll.
