BY MACKENZIE CHASE Special to the Daily Sun mong the more tradi- A tional display, a Navajo splash art of on color and modern influence could be seen at one of the booths. "I have a hard time explaining my art," said artist Don Whitesinger. "I try to let my artwork speak for itself." The paintings were done through combination of stencil and acrylics to create pieces with several layers they had to be studied with more than a cursory glance order to get the full effect. Whitesinger, an art professor at College in Chinle, showed collection of his paintings Saturday at the 65th annual Navajo Festival of Arts and Culture held the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. "This is the first show I've done here," he said.
And there was a large turnout, despite the forecast of wet weather. Linda Martin, heritage festival manager, was happy with the success of her first year running the event. "A lot (of artists) are returning and some are new, but they've heard by word of mouth that this is a good show to come to," she said. "We're at full capacity with over 75 artists." The talent was displayed in sculpture, pottery, hand -woven rugs, carvings and jewelry. Booths were set up along the perimeter the courtyard as well as throughout several of the galleries, and a tented stage was set up in the new courtyard to host the performing artists on a stage surrounded by pines.

Kendall Chischilly has been performing with the dancers for 12 years and really enjoys it. "These were lost dances a big part of our culture," he said. "This (performance) holds on to old traditions." The dances incorporate the use of bells on clothing to make music while a drum is beaten and a chant is sung. During the social dance, the four performers did one round together before going into the crowd to pick out audience members to bring back to the stage and teach the dance. While some were hesitant, others were able to pick up on it pretty quickly.
Chischilly had first heard stories of these traditional dancers from his grandparents and finally saw them for the first time in person when he was 13. The festival drew residents of Flagstaff as well as a lot of people from out of town. Jhane Marello came up with her husband from Prescott to see the art that would be shown and to appreciate the culture. "I loved the dancing and the fashion show was just wonderful," she said. "I collect Native American jewelry, so I was looking at all the different jewelry they have." One of the things Marello liked about the festival was being able to talk to the artists themselves while browsing.
"They tell you something about the artwork and how they came up with the design or whatever (and) that's very nice," she said. Added Marello: "I'll always end up buying something. I didn't buy any jewelry today, but I bought some tops and a picture." Because the festivals are largescale events, volunteers are essential. "We rely on volunteers and interns for a lot of our program management, and we couldn't do it without them," Martin said. "We have a very dedicated group of volunteers committed to the mission of the museum." Added Martin: "I think it's important to provide a showcase of Navajo culture to an urban community like Flagstaff (because) it's kind of a neighborly thing where we hope visitors will learn about people in their own backyards.
This is Navajo country and people can get to know each other we're hoping we can bridge the gap of cultures." DEDICATED IN 2007, the Matt Kelly Urban Trail Bridge connects Buffalo Park to McMillan Mesa.

ICONIC The bridge is located a quar50 -mile east of the entrance road to the USGS complex and Buffalo Park. It connects Buffalo Park to McMillan Mesa and Coconino High School, and is located on the Flagstaff portion of the 800-mile Arizona Trail system that stretches from Utah to Mexico.
It was constructed initially as the Cedar Avenue Bridge in 2006 with a price tag of $806,000, much of that paid for with a state Heritage Fund grant. The structure was renamed a year later in honor of Matt Kelly, a 37-year-old cyclist who was struck and killed by a drunk driver while riding his bike along Cedar Avenue in April 2005. Despite being comprised primarily of post -tensioned concrete, the bridge retains a natural look thanks to the addition of large boulders to both ends Gaming revenue for state to hit $24M for quarter PHOENIX (AP) The Arizona Department of Gaming says contributions to the state from tribal gambling revenue will be about $24.6 million for the quarter that ended June 30.
