BOARDMAN
Seniors take Walk of Fame through old schools Boardman dairy retains
bankruptcy protections
By JADE MCDOWELL
East Oregonian
Graduation isn’t here
quite yet, but Hermiston
High School students got
an excuse to don their caps
and gowns Friday for the
school’s “Walk of Fame.”
The purple-clad senior
class strolled the halls of
their old elementary schools
as students clapped and
cheered, then took a second
walk back through Herm-
iston High School, led by a
group of drummers. 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

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.

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

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.
