They ended up in the commons, where each student had the opportunity to sign a poster board with “Four Year Col- lege,” “Military” or other post-graduation plans writ- ten on them. Larry Usher, athletic/ activities director for the high school, congratulated the Class of 2018 and told them to have fun and make their hometown proud. He told students he could see it in their eyes that many of them were nervous about what was next, but they didn’t need to be. “The best part of your life is about to begin,” he told them. The students will walk across the stage to receive their diploma next Thursday — the first Hermiston class to do so at the Toyota Cen- ter in the Tri-Cities. Senior By MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI EO Media Group Staff photo by Jade McDowell. Hermiston High School seniors sign posters proclaiming their post-graduation plans during the Walk of Fame on Friday afternoon. Jakelyn Pacheco said she could hardly believe the big day was coming up so soon. Pacheco said she chose to walk through the halls of Rocky Heights Elementary School, where she attended for four years. “I saw two of my teach- ers, and it was so nice to see them after so long,” she said. “We took pictures.” She said it was amazing to “see the little kids looking up to you, and you want to set a good example.” Daniel Studebaker had a similar reaction. He didn’t move to Hermiston until seventh grade, but chose to visit West Park Elementary School to be an inspiration to his cousins who attend there. “It was crazy, all these kids looking up to you like you’re Superman,” he said. “It opens your eyes.” Studebaker’s post-gradu- ation plans are for service in the Coast Guard, and he said while he’s excited, “it hasn’t really hit me yet.” April Brooks is enlisting in the Army National Guard and then plans to study law at Portland State University. She said she did her Walk of Fame through Sunset Ele- mentary School. “It was really cool and the kids were so cute,” she said. ——— Contact Jade McDowell at jmcdowell@eastorego- nian.com or 541-564-4536. The Boardman dairy facing a slew of financial and regu- latory problems won’t be forced to auction off its cattle and will instead seek to sell the animals together with the facil- ity and land. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Fredrick Clement has decided against lifting bankruptcy protections for Lost Valley Farm, effectively forestalling a liquidation sale sought by Rabo- bank, the dairy’s main creditor. Rabobank sought to foreclose on the herd to repay some of the $67 million it had loaned to the dairy, but owner Greg te Velde filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, automatically pro- tecting against such actions while he restructures debt. His bankruptcy filing canceled a liquidation auction of Lost Valley Farm’s cattle in April, but Rabobank has since argued the dairy shouldn’t be shielded from foreclosure because it’s being mismanaged. Rabobank argued that Columbia River Processing, a sub- sidiary of the Tillamook County Creamery Cooperative, had terminated its contract to buy milk from the dairy and would cease accepting it after May 31. Patrick Criteser, Tillamook’s CEO, submitted a declara- tion the contract was terminated because the dairy wasn’t paying its debts and had violated quality standards more than 60 times by supplying milk with high bacteria levels. The bank also claimed that Lost Valley Farm is out of compliance with its “confined animal feeding operation” permit, which regulates wastewater, despite a settlement with the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Correcting wastewater management problems at the dairy will require expensive remediation, such as emptying and rebuilding manure lagoons, at a cost of nearly $400,000 that’s not in the company’s budget, according to Rabobank. Te Velde’s “substance abuse problem” also weighs against his continued operation of the dairy, since his “half- baked, slapdash approach” to complying with wastewater regulations is “just the latest manifestation of his drug prob- lem,” the bank said. In court documents, te Velde disputed the contract with Columbia River Processing was terminated, saying that “my special counsel and I continue to assert there is a scheduled, valid, executory contract and we are prepared to litigate any act by CRP to discontinue receiving our milk product.” Te Velde also claimed he will soon begin work on lin- ing another lagoon and upgrading a wastewater system but “there is no immediate danger of the lagoons overflowing.” While acknowledging his drug problem, te Velde said he’s enrolled in a “recovery program” and will return to res- idential treatment for up to three months. Pendleton will close Eighth Street Bridge on Monday East Oregonian Staff photo by Jade McDowell. Staff photo by Jade McDowell. Hermiston High School seniors walk through the hallways of their school in caps and gowns during Fri- day’s Walk of Fame event. Signatures of seniors graduating from Hermiston High School proclaim their intent to continue their education at a four-year college. Pendleton’s Eighth Street Bridge will be closed Mon- day as construction crews to continue to prepare to replace it. According to a city press release, construction vehi- cles and equipment will be at the site throughout the day, requiring the city to close the bridge to vehicular traffic. The city is advising resi- dents who use the bridge to plan an alternate route.
