WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2018 OBITUARY RECORDS HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A7 POLICE LOG Harry Trump Hermiston February 21, 1927 - October 17, 2018 Our father was born on February 21, 1927 in Max- ville, Ore., and passed into heaven on October 17, 2018 at Good Shep- herd Medical Cen- ter in Hermiston. Dad lived a long and prosperous life, and a life of service — service to his family, service to his com- munity, service to his church, and ser- Trump vice to his God. At five years of age, he met the love of his life, Erma Stubblefield. They went through school together and worked at the local newspa- per. Eventually they were married in Nampa, Idaho, in 1950. Dad graduated from Eastern Oregon College and embarked on a career in education that spanned 34 years. In Elgin, Ore., he was principal and taught eighth grade. If that wasn’t enough, he also worked at the local sawmill and man- aged the local skating rink/ fast food business. In those days, we knew nearly everyone in town. Grandparents were only a few blocks away; our Uncle Jack was chief of police, other aunts and uncles were close by. Dad was very close to his father Lacey and we spent many days in his orchard, learning how to milk a cow and eat- ing green apples. We were all blessed with an idyllic childhood in Elgin. In 1960, our family packed up and moved to Hermiston, the “big city” of 4,400. After teaching at Sunset Elementary for two years, Dad became the first principal of Rocky Heights Elementary School. We lived on Jennie Avenue for five years and established many lifelong friendships. In fact, when our family first arrived at the new home, there was a 6-year-old Mexican lad waiting on our porch, Wil- lie Vasquez. He became our lifelong friend and honorary brother. We could walk anywhere we needed go. Life was simple and sweet back then. No inter- net, very little TV and yet we got together and had great times playing base- ball, or roaming around town. Playing along with the Beatles with our rub- ber-band guitars. Great stuff. Dad was strict with us growing up, but always showed great wisdom. However, he was a gentle soul who could not bring himself to spank his kids. Luckily, Mom did very well at discipline! On the rare occasion Dad tried to spank us, we would only laugh. He always had a great sense of humor, and as we got older, showed more of his devi- ous side. Our family later moved to a large home on East Highland Avenue. One summer day, we were all sitting in our dark base- ment watching reruns of “Dark Shadows.” Knowing that Wil- lie was afraid of vampires, Dad snuck around the back of the couch and grabbed his shoulder, yelling “AHHHHHH!!!” Poor Willie nearly jumped out of his skin! The home on East Highland was huge, and everyone had their own bed- room. The base- ment had a bar, there was a pool table, ping-pong table, piano, a great place to entertain friends. Later, Dad worked in the office of the superin- tendent for a few years, and then became the first principal of Highland Hills Elementary before retiring in 1983. Mom and Dad kept busy with genealogy research and travel. Over the next few years, they traced the family roots back to 1700 in Virginia. They drove their motor home all over the country and made trips to Alaska, Hawaii, Europe and Israel. The family grew and prospered. Mom and Dad had 52 years of marriage and countless beautiful mem- ories and happy times together with their family and friends. Dad was preceded in death by his beloved wife Erma, daughter Elizabeth, daughter-in-law Tracee and grandson Harrison. He is survived by his daughter Susan Brooks, son-in-law Charlie Gra- beel, son Gary (Janet), son David (Lori) and daughter Lori Royer (Chuck). He is also survived by 19 grand- children, 33 great-grand- children, and one great-great-grandchild. He was a cherished member of the First United Methodist Church and spe- cial thanks go to the entire congregation for their love and support through the years. Special thanks also to Avamere assisted living and the kindness of their staff while he was there. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7 A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Octo- ber 27, 2018, at 10 a.m. at the First United Method- ist Church, 191 E.

Divorces PENDLETON — Divorce de- crees were signed in Uma- State slaps Lost Valley Farm with $187,000 fine Record fine stems from alleged wastewater violations By MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI EO MEDIA GROUP Oregon farm regulators have issued a fine of more than $187,000 to a Board- man dairy, citing more than 220 violations of its waste- water permit between last December and late August. Among the alleged violations by Lost Val- ley Farm are unauthorized manure discharges, stor- ing too much manure in lagoons, repeatedly apply- ing manure to fields without first installing required soil moisture sensors and keep- ing excessive numbers of mature cattle. The dairy has until early November to challenge the civil penalties issued by the Oregon Department of Agri- culture’s confined animal feeding program before an administrative judge. “It is the largest CAFO penalty we’ve ever issued,” said Wym Matthews, the program manager. None of the violations were that severe on their own, but they added up over time, he said. “The same thing happened continually without repair.” Lost Valley Farm was recently put under new man- agement after its owner, Greg te Velde, lost control of the facility’s operations in bankruptcy proceedings and the reins were handed to a federal trustee. Two other dairies, both in Califor- nia, were also put under the trustee’s control. ODA expects to pro- ceed with its revocation of the dairy’s confined animal feeding operation permit even if the trustee, accoun- tant Randy Sugarman, cleans up the facility’s act, said Matthews. “Our unwavering aim is to revoke this permit. Who- ever’s name is on it, we’re going to revoke it,” Mat- thews said at an Oct. 11 meeting of the CAFO advi- sory committee in Salem. Lane Marty Shockman, 28, and Alicia Leannetta Wiser, 27, both of Stanfield. •Credits Inc. vs. Tamie A. Norris of Hermiston: seeks $1,205.79. •Credits Inc. vs. Joseph A. Munkers of Irrigon: seeks $569.28. E.J. HARRIS/EO MEDIA GROUP FILE The Lost Valley Farm dairy outside Boardman has been fined a record $187,000 for allegedly violating its wastewater permit. MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI/ CAPITAL PRESS Wym Matthews, center, manager of the Oregon Department of Agriculture’s confined animal feeding operation program, said the state will revoke Lost Valley Farm’s CAFO permit. Lost Valley Farm is chal- lenging the revocation of its CAFO permit through an administrative process, and a hearing on the matter is scheduled for Nov. 13. Even if the dairy is brought into regulatory compliance, its past actions — such as manure lagoon overflows — warrant the revocation, and the ODA has lost all trust in te Vel- de’s management, Matthews said. Even if the facility oper- ated properly over the short term, the agency has no con- fidence that te Velde could keep up the compliance, he said. The ODA anticipates arguing in bankruptcy court that its revocation of Lost Valley’s permit isn’t sub- ject to the “automatic stay” that protects the company against adverse creditor actions under the bankruptcy process, Matthews said. “Do you allow a facility to continue to violate state and federal laws?” he said. While the facility does have some design flaws, ODA believes the wastewa- ter problems were funda- mentally caused by improper operations, he said. If the dairy is eventually sold to repay te Velde’s cred- itors, the new owner would have to apply for a new CAFO permit, Matthews said.
