Club
71 - Lacey Update
Sunny
Valley, OR
- On Dec. 31, 2006 at approximately 1:15 p.m. Sunny Valley residents
observed Larry Lacey, owner of Club 71 at 102 Old Stage Road, Sunny
Valley, OR, using a backhoe to dig up and remove 3 underground gasoline
storage tanks. Numerous witnesses could smell gasoline (leaded)
fumes from the excavation site.

Shortly
after witnesses began taking pictures the passenger window of a truck
belonging to one Sunny Valley resident was broken out by a rock that
was thrown through the window.
The
Oregon State Police responded to a 911 call and a report was taken. While
three Oregon State Troopers were present, Larry Lacey reportedly asked
if anyone had a match to set off some fireworks.
According
to a spokesperson for the Sunny Valley Group, “all evidence (pictures),
statements, etc., will be forwarded on Tuesday morning, Jan. 2, 2007
to the DEQ and EPA and all county officials who should be aware of this
obvious breach of environmental law.” One witness stated that
he drove by Lacy’s shop later on and that Lacey was smashing the
old gasoline tanks.

Larry
Lacy and the Sunny Valley Group have had a long history of problems.
The Group has picketed Lacey’s Club 71 (a strip joint), stating
that they don’t want such a business in their community because
a strip business attracts drugs and criminals. View our web-site for

beef.
