REGION Thursday, August 30, 2018 East Oregonian Page 3A Calendar contest draws on Oregon’s bounty By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian A pair of local students were among the 13 winners of the Oregon Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation annual calendar art contest. Elizabeth Finch of Hep- pner Elementary School and Andrew Kubishta of Helix Elementary School, who are both entering fifth grade, were recognized during an Aug. 26 reception at the Oregon State Fair in Salem. The artwork of the two local winners were among more than 2,000 entries submitted in the statewide contest. With more than 200 agri- culture-related commodities across the state, students had a wide variety of subjects to choose from. In addi- tion to having their artwork included in the calender, the winners also received a $50 award and a certificate. The artwork is on display through Monday at the fair- grounds in Salem. Although unable to attend the reception, Kubishta was honored for his entry depict- ing luscious blueberries. Using crayon, pencil and colored pencils, his artwork also features bold and color- ful lettering with the words “Oregon Grown.” Drawing on her creativ- ity and familiar sites in Mor- row County, Finch’s submis- sion features a horse herding cattle. “I chose the scene because it is one of the com- modities of Heppner,” she said. “A lot of people have cattle.” Sue Gibbs, Finch’s teacher, also attended the reception. This was the first year she worked with stu- dents to enter the contest.

Jessica Jansen, AITC executive director, agreed that the calendar contest is a great project for both teach- ers and students. “It gives them an oppor- tunity to teach and discuss about the bounty and beauty of Oregon agriculture and incorporate art in their class- rooms,” she said.

Jose Gua- dalupe Cancino Sanguino, 36, was arrested by the Uma- tilla County Sheriff’s Office on a warrant for a case that’s being handled by the Herm- iston Police Department. Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston said the arrest was related to cases that started in December 2017 and May 2018.

Edmiston said Sanguino was initially arrested in December 2017 and lodged in the jail. When he was out on bail, another victim came forward.
