Flag Day observations have been
around for a long time. In 1885 B. J.
Cigrand, a school teacher in
Fredonia, Wisconsin, arranged for
pupils at his school to observe June
14 (the 108th anniversary of the
official adoption of the red, white
and blue Stars and Stripes) as Flag
Birthday. Numerous celebrations
and observations followed across
the country through the years.
In 1907 the BPO Elks Grand
Lodge designated June 14 as Flag
Day. The Grand Lodge of the Order
adopted mandatory observation of
the occasion by every Lodge in
1911.
Flag Day was officially
established by the proclamation of
President Woodrow Wilson on May
10, 1916. On August 3. 1949,
President Truman signed an Act
of Congress designating June 14
of each year as National Flag Day.

Eight dedicated and talented
young area musicians took part in
the Oregon State Fiddle Contest,
sponsored by the Oregon Old Time
Fiddlers Association, May 18-19.
The competition was held at
Chemeketa Community College
in Salem. Local competitors include
Sarah Kendrick, Kate Kendrick,
Seth Morgan, Enc Jepsen and Matt
Holland, all from Heppner; Kara
Clay and Alex Carlson, lone; and
Brynna Rust from Echo who attends
Heppner Elementary School.
Sixth grader Kate Kendrick has
been fiddling for four years. She
says she likes playing fiddle music
more than classical violin. "Fiddling
is easier and more fun to get in to,"
she said. She likes group playing
better than solos. Her sister Sarah,
eight, has been fiddling for two
years. This is her first competition.
"I was nervous at first," she said.
During the Friday night
competition the judges don't get
to see the contestants. They listen
to the playing from another room.
On Saturday afternoon the
contestants play in front o f a live
audience.
'» Alex Carlson says he likes having
an opportunity to play in front of
an audience. He's been playing since
he was five, when he got the violin
fie wanted for his birthday.
Contestants must play a hoedown,
a waltz and a third tune of their own
¡choice, such as a reel or jig. Total
Combined playing time for the three
pieces is limited to four minutes.
A tune can't be played more than
once during all appearances of a
contestant in- the competition.
¡Contestants can play alone or be
¡accompanied by no more than two
people playing guitars. Awards are
¡given through
10th place.
'Accompanist winners are judged
by the number of times they appear
bn stage backing up contestants.
I Matt Holland, a fifth grader, has
been playing guitar for about a year
He likes playing background for
the fiddlers.
Also on Friday was the Twin
Fiddling Contest. In this contest
fiddlers of all ages compete against
each other. Each team is made up
o f two fiddlers, of any age
combination, with up to three
accompanists. The fiddlers play only
one tune, which may be a medley,
with a three-minute time limit.
This is fifth grader Seth Morgan's
fifth year playing, and his third year
in the junior division. He also
competed in the Twin Fiddling with
Jacie Penner. "Playing with a
professional like Jacie made me
feel like I was becoming a
professional too," he said. He's been
in four major competitions and says
he likes learning from all the
"awesome" players. "I like fiddling
because it's more stylish and I get
to move around. I hope I fiddle for
the rest o f my life," he said.
Results of the competition were:
Pee Wee Division (eight and under)-
Sarah Kendrick, seventh place;
Junior Junior Division (9- 12)-Kara
Clay, fifth, Kate Kendrick, sixth,
Seth Morgan, seventh. Enc Jepsen,
ninth. Brynna Rust, 10th, Alex
Carlson 13th; Twin Fiddhng-Seth
Morgan and Jacie Penner. Pendleton,
eighth place. Kate Kendrick and
Hillary Harshman, Pendleton, 14th
