Farm Worker Celebration
picnic planned for Aug. 20
HERMISTON — Farm workers
and their families are invited to a free
picnic on Aug. 20 to celebrate their
contributions to the community.
The Oregon Human Development
Corporation is hosting a Farmworker
Celebration Day on Sunday, Aug. 20
from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Butte Park,
1245 N.W. Seventh Street in Hermiston.
“We just want to show all farm
workers in the area we appreciate all
they do,” workforce consultant Vanessa

She said farm workers in the area

economy, and any members of
the community who would like
to participate in celebrating those
contributions are also invited.
“The more the merrier,” she said.
The free family event will include
food, live music, face painting and
giveaways of 10 gift baskets donated
by local businesses. There will also
be a variety of people there to discuss
resources for farm workers and to talk
about their rights. Attendees will include

Oregon, WorkSource, Columbia River
Community Health Services, Hermiston
School District, Jiovanni Staffi ng and
Fiesta Foods.
The event’s main sponsor, Oregon
Human Development Corporation, is

counts. Prosecutors had a
different take.
“There’s one statement
that’s most important and
that’s the jury’s statement:
guilty on those counts,”
said Acting U.S. Attorney
Bridget Rohde.
Prosecutors had accused
Shkreli
of
repeatedly
misleading investors about
what he was doing with
their money. Mostly, he was
blowing it with horrible
stock picks, forcing him to
cook up a scheme to recover
millions in losses, they said.
Shkreli, 34, told “lies upon
lies,” including claiming he
had $40 million in one of his
funds at a time when it only
had about $300 in the bank,
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Alixandra Smith said in
closing arguments. The trial
“has exposed Martin Shkreli
for who he really is — a con
man who stole millions,”
added another prosecutor,
Jacquelyn Kasulis.
But the case was tricky
for the government because
investors who testifi ed said
Shkreli’s scheme actually
succeeded
in
making
them richer, in some cases
doubling or even tripling
their money on his compa-
ny’s stock when it went
public.
“Who lost anything?
Nobody,” Brafman said
in his closing argument.
Some investors had to admit
on the witness stand that
partnering with Shkreli was
“the greatest investment I’ve
ever made,” he added.
While the convictions
carry maximum penalties
of years in prison, Brafman
said that the lack of fi nancial
harm meant that Shkreli
could get no jail time when
he is sentenced. A sentencing
date has yet to be set.
