Hospitals statewide have
been fl ooded with patients
as the delta variant infects
large swaths of unvacci-
nated people, with 1,080
reported Aug. 25.
At least 70 people have
been hospitalized with
COVID-19 in Umatilla
County since August
began, according to hospi-
tal spokespersons. Only
three intensive care unit
beds on Aug. 25, were avail-
able in Region 9, an area
that encompasses Morrow,
Umatilla, Union, Wallowa,
Baker and Malheur coun-
ties.
Here is a breakdown
of the last four Umatilla
County residents who
succumbed to COVID-19:
• The county’s 109th
victim is a 52-year-old
woman who tested positive
July 28 and died Aug. 7 at
CHI St. Anthony Hospital,
Pendleton. The county and

Easterday is the son of Cody East-
erday, who pleaded guilty to felony
wire fraud earlier this year in a “ghost
cattle” scheme where he defrauded
Tyson Foods by selling more than
200,000 animals that did not exist. He
agreed to pay $220 million in restitu-
tion and faces up to 20 years in prison.
His sentencing in federal court is
scheduled in October.
In 2019, the Easterdays acquired
the property from Greg te Velde, the
former owner of Lost Valley Farms.
That dairy closed less than a year after
it opened due to repeated environmen-
tal violations, forcing te Velde into
bankruptcy.
Cody Easterday’s sons now own
the family’s dairy business, Easterday
Dairy LLC. In addition to his legal
troubles, the family’s Easterday Farms
and Easterday Ranches have fi led for
bankruptcy.
“Oregon offi cials have long asserted
that the hundreds of permit violations
at Lost Valley Farms were simply
because Lost Valley’s owner was one
bad actor,” Aime said. “But the East-
erday debacle has shown that that is
blatantly false.”
Cole Easterday declined to
comment for this story.
Environmentalists decry
dairy prospects
The environmental groups claim
the dairy would use up already scarce
groundwater, pose a threat to the
region’s air, water and wildlife and
worsen the eff ects of climate change.
Brian Posewitz, a staff attor-
ney with Water Watch Oregon and
Humane Voters Oregon, said the state
should deny the dairy’s application to
protect the region’s water supply and
animal welfare.
state have yet to determine
if she had underlying health
conditions.
• The county’s 110th
victim is a 69-year-old
woman who tested positive
Aug. 3 and died Aug. 15 at
St. Luke’s Boise Medical
Center. She had unspecifi ed
underlying health condi-
tions.
• The county’s 111th
victim is a 66-year-old man
who tested positive Aug. 2
and died Aug. 22 at Prov-
idence Portland Medical
Center, Portland. He did
He said the proposed dairy would
use millions of gallons of water from
the Columbia River and from ground-
water aquifers, which would threaten
fi sh populations and intensify drought
conditions. He said the dairy’s water
use would potentially exceed that of
the city of Bend.
The large amount of cow manure
generated by the dairy also threatens to
contaminate the water supply in nearby
communities, he and other coalition
members claimed.
The state agriculture department
has issued a water quality advisory
for the property after tests showed soil
nitrate levels could potentially contam-
inate groundwater. Cody Easterday
has agreed to clean up the property
under state supervision.
Lastly, Posewitz said the animals
would be living in crowded, inhumane
conditions.
“The cows get crammed into over-
crowded barns, rarely if ever get to
graze in a pasture, have their calves
taken from them right after birth, and
get sent to slaughter as soon as they
become unproductive for milk,” he said.
The dairy plans to have 28,300
animals total. Environmentalists say
those animals would produce large
amounts of methane, one of the key
components that hastens climate
change.
The Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change, a body of scientists
convened by the United Nations, said
in its annual report that methane has
made a huge contribution to global
warming. The short-lived gas, the
study suggests, accounts for approx-
imately 30-50% of the current rise in
temperature.
“Livestock production has become
the leading source of methane gas
in Oregon,” Amy van Saun, a senior
attorney with the Center for Food
Safety, said in the press conference.
This summer’s wildfi res, deadly
heatwaves and drought are examples of

conditions.
• The county’s 112th
victim is a 63-year-old man
who tested positive Aug. 15
and died Aug. 23 at Good
Shepherd Medical Center,
Hermiston. The county and
state have yet to determine
if he had underlying health
conditions.
More than 11,200 people
have tested positive for
COVID-19 in Umatilla
County since the pandemic
started, according to the
county.

how climate change is already impact-
ing the state, van Saun said. She said
the methane emitted from the dairy’s
cows and manure lagoons would
increase these risks while the dairy’s
technology won’t be able to capture the
emissions.
“Oregon deserves real, transfor-
mative climate solutions that bene-
fi t the communities that are hardest
hit by the climate crisis,” van Saun
said. “If we want to lead in climate
crisis mitigation, we need to reduce
this unnecessary source of methane
fi rst. Mega-dairies have no place in a
clean Oregon and so we must say no to
any further sources of water, air and
climate pollution, like the Easterday
mega-dairy.”

said the county will hold
some sort of vaccination
clinic during the Round-Up
week. The department off ered
vaccinations at the Umatilla
County Fair, a modest success
that led to 37 vaccinations at
the fair itself and another 34

Umatilla County will undergo
its fi rst test with the mandate
when the Greater Hermiston
CityFest descends on Butte
Park on Aug. 28, the day after
the new rules go into eff ect.
Organized by the Port-
land-based Luis Palau Asso-
ciation in conjunction with
more than 60 churches in
Umatilla and Morrow coun-
ties, CityFest is a faith-based
event offering Christian
music, extreme sports demon-
strations and other family
activities. Levi Park, the
director of festivals for the
association, said his organi-
zation was prepared for an
expanded mask mandate as a
possibility.
All attendees will be
provided with a mask at
the entrance if they don’t
bring their own, and the
event emcee will remind the
crowd to wear it through-
out the event. CityFest also
will place social distanc-
ing markers throughout the
park in addition to sanitation
stations. CityFest organizers
are invested in keeping their
audience members healthy,
Park said, because the event
is supposed to represent hope,
especially in the face of the
pandemic.
Eastern Oregon not
spared from delta
variant
Brown has reintroduced
and expanded the mask
mandate as Oregon’s hospital
system strains under dramatic
increase in COVID -19
patients in need of ICU care.
Although Eastern Oregon
is faring better than other
regions of the state in terms
of available hospital beds,

Hospital still is advising
community members to mask
up and get vaccinated.
“For your health and that
of your family and friends, St.
Anthony encourages every-
one to abide by the Gover-
nor’s mask requirements,” St.
Anthony CEO Harry Geller
said in a statement. “However,
the best way we have to fend
off the Delta variant and the
next one likely to come after
that is the vaccine. We urge
everyone to get vaccinated
now.”
The new mask require-
ment also comes as the state
announced new vaccine
mandates for health care
workers and teachers on Aug.
19.
The move already is draw-
ing opposition from unvacci-
nated health care workers who
don’t want the jab, despite
the vast number of experts
saying the vaccines are safe
and eff ective against all forms
of COVID-19 and are the
country’s best bet for ending
the pandemic. The Food and
Drug Administration on Aug.
23 granted full approval to the
Pfi zer vaccine.
The requirement has
prompted local health care
workers to organize an
anti-vaccine rally at Roy Raley
Park in Pendleton the evening
of Aug. 26. On Facebook,
rally organizers call the latest
vaccine mandates “tyranni-
cal.” So far, more than 260
people have responded to the
event via Facebook.
Only 55% of all licensed
health care workers in
Umatilla County are vacci-
nated against COVID-19,
compared to the 70% state-
wide average, according to
the Oregon Health Authority.
The county’s total ranks ninth
from last in Oregon.
More than 70 people
have been hospitalized with
COVID-19 in Umatilla
County since the beginning
of the month as the delta vari-
ant ravages Oregon and hospi-
tals statewide are fl ooded with
patients.
And with 14 deaths
reported since the begin-
ning of the month, and four
reported Aug. 25 alone, the
county is quickly approach-
ing its all-time record for
reported COVID-19 deaths
in a single month.
