Jeremy Wright (left) accepts award from Vo-Ag teacher Bill Umbaraer Fourteen-year-old Jeremy Wright of Heppner has won second place in the Future Farmers of America Creed Speaking sectional contest held Feb. 26. Wright, a freshman at Heppner High School, is one of eight finalists in the State FFA contest. He will travel to Corvallis the week of March 15 to compete in the state FFA convention. This is Wright’s first year of FFA. He is the son of David Wright, Heppner and Linda Stubenrauch, Hermiston. According to Heppner High School vo-ag teacher and FFA ad visor, Bill Umbarger, Wright com peted against six other FFA’ers at the sectional contest, made up of three districts—Blue Mountain District, Eastern Oregon District and the Snake River District. Umbarger said that students are judged on delivery and their response to a question asked each of them. The same question is asked each student, but the question varies from contest to contest. Umbarger, who taught three years in Pendleton before coming to Hepp ner, has taken other FFA students to state—a fourth place team in parliamentary procedure, a third place in public speaking, a first in talent and many proficiency award winners. He said that a number of his students have gained the state Farmer degree and some became state officers. One student earned the American Farmer degree, the highest degree attainable in FFA. “ The Little Whiz Shop” We also have a good assortment of St. Patrick's Day mugs.
