F O U R - H e p p n e r G aze tte-T im e s, H eppner, O regon W ednesday, May 18,2011 Daughter of Heppner woman hit Harpist wins scholarship competition and state recital by tornado A n d re a H a ll, daughter of Heppner wom an Patricia Ward, faced disaster when her mobile home in Hackleburg, AL— just north of Tuskaloosa— was taken by a recent tor nado. With the house went everything H all’s family owned, including photos and personal belongings. The family has since found the wheels of the mobile home, but have found no trace of the rest. Losses weren’t lim ited to belongings; Hall’s baby daughter, Kayse, was taken to the hospital with hypothermia. Her husband’s parents also lost their home, and Hall’s mother-in-law broke both her arms trying to hold up the wall of the underground shelter. After the tornados ripped through the south ern U.S. two weeks ago. Ward tried unsuccessfully to reach her daughter. Hall eventually called relatives in Hermiston and Arlington to let them know she was all right and that she had lost her cell phone in the storm. H a ll’s tra g e d y w a sn ’t only p e rso n a l. Hackleburg, a town about the size of Lexington, was completely wiped out by the tornado. Hall herself was having a barbecue, but said she received warning in time to get to a shelter. “It sounded like an explosion,” said Hall. Hall’s family is cur rently staying with friends. A bank account has been set up at the Bank of Eastern Oregon to help with disaster recovery. Anyone interested in making a donation can ask for the Patricia Ward tornado account. Two musical hon ors came to harpist Rebecca Jepsen recently. She took first place in the instrumen tal division of the Monday Musical Club of Portland’s annual scholarship audi tions and, additionally, was featured as a soloist in the American String Teachers Association (ASTA) annual statewide honors recital. Jepsen, a junior at lone High School, was awarded $1,500 after per forming with the other six winners at the club’s May Memorial Scholarship Tea at the Holladay Park Plaza Penthouse in Portland. This year, the Mon day M usical Club gave out $10,000 in scholarship funds to outstanding high school and college musi cians. The audition process, which took place in April, was limited to 30 vocal and instrumental contestants ages 16 to 24. Rebecca had to perform two pieces from memory from contrasting musical periods. She played Passacaille by Handel and P iece Sym phonique by French composer Henriette Renie. She ended up plac ing first out of the twenty instrumental soloists. Rebecca was also selected to perform the Re nie piece at the American String Teachers Association Honor Recital at the Port land Music Center. Twelve participants were selected by taped audition. The re cital featured violin, viola and harp students from vari ous areas of Oregon. Rebecca has been playing the harp for nine years and studies with De nise Fujikawa, harp teacher at Portland State University and harpist for the Portland Opera.
