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

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.
