2-ARIZONA DAILY SUN, Ragstaff, Arizona, Tuesday, April 7, 1998 Galway lifts Flag-to a higher level Music review By JAN STEVENS Features Editor A flutist a pianist and a page-turner. Those three were the only ones on stage Monday evening, but flutist James Galway and pianist Christopher ORiley produced a stream of music that poured over the audience like Oak Creek following a spring snow. The exceptional musical performance brought audience members to their feet at intermission and led to three encores at the end of the evening. Galway at times seemed to be playing two or three instruments, especially in Morlacchis The Swiss Shepherd, as he alternated between a higher melody and low trills, and his music, sometimes flowing and expressive, sometimes forceful and commanding, sometimes dazzling in its virtuosity, was at all times, inspiring. Galway known as the Man with the Golden Flute and thought to be the successor to Jean-Picrre Rampal performed as part of the Northern Arizona Spectrum Series in Ardrey Auditorium.

It was the final Spectrum Series performance for the season. Galway was bom in Belfast Ireland, and played in his first band at the age of 9. He studied at Londons Royal College of Music and Guildhall School, the Paris Conservatoire and with flutist Marcel Moyse. He was principal flutist in the Berlin Philharmonic, but established a solo career in the mid-70s. In 1979 he was awarded the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for his musical contribution to society.

He has traveled across the globe in concert and produced numerous recordings. In 1997, he was named Musician of the Year by Musical America. With a tone full and rich in the difficult low register of the flute and completely controlled in the high register three octaves above, Galway played a variety of tunes Monday beginning with Dvoraks Sonatina in Major. Dvoraks work includes five movements, and the audience ap- Paul Sweitzer Daily Sun Columnist I "11 1 With help, the past rushes back All right. Time to fcss up.

You really didnt think, did you, that I remembered all those details about that first Major League baseball game I saw 50 years ago? You were rigliL I didnt But an enthusiastically helpful young man, Charles Henderson, in the public relations office of the Cincinnati Reds helped me remember. Oh, I knew I had seen the Reds and the Philadelphia Phillies on June 11, 1948, at Crosley Field in Cincinnati. I didnt remember that the Reds had won 12-1, until Charles told me, nor did 1 remember all those facts about the home runs and the record of the winning pitcher. I will say that once Charles began talking a lot of it started coming back, but it took his efforts to make the my subsequent column possible. So, thanks to Charles and to the Reds.

They are no longer my favorite team in the National League, but they always will be my first team in cither league. I look forward to seeing them in July when they are in Phoenix to play the Diamondbacks. Friends in Flagstaff will be sorry to hear of the death, March 21, in New York City, of Frederick Dock-stader, an expert in Native American cultures. Sixty years ago, Dockstader was the sixth grade teacher at Flagstaffs Emerson School, where one of his pupils was Malcolm Mackey, today Flagstaffs best-known railroad buff. In the intervening years, Dockstader had become world-renowned in the field of Native American studies and was affiliated with a major museum in Manhattan.

His wife, Alice, survives and informed Malcolm of the death, which came after a brief bout with cancer. Shortly before his death, Dock-stadcr set up a fellowship at Northern Arizona University for graduate students majoring in the arts. Preference on grants will be given to Native American students. Anyone interested in contributing can pall Bob Crazier, at the NAU Foundation, 523-2014. What to do with all those books that have stacked up around the house this year? Every year since 1964, that has been an easy question to answer in Flagstaff.

Give them to the annual bode sale at Scchrist Elementary School, on North Fort Valley Road. The school is acccptingbooks for the sale from now until April 17. The sale will take place April 24 and 25. Proceeds go to buy equipment and supplies for the school. The sale is not only a great place to find books, but also is a social event of considerable standing'in our town.

The sale this year will be a little poignant for some people. It was established by the late Tony Gabaldon when he was the first principal of the school. It was with regret I learned of the decision not to hold the Flagstaff Festival of the Arts this summer. At the same time, I applaud festival president Adam Clark and his board for a decision that will allow thoughtful reorganization and, hopefully, a festival that will be better than ever.

I live in Switzerland, and it snows p1 there all the time, but I dont think it snows in April, he said.

The second half of the program began Sonata No. 2 for Flute and Piano by Philippe Gaubert, a composer whose music is often played by flutists, but Galway said he only-r began performing about 10 years ago. Galway followed it by two more Gaubert works, Madrigal and Nocturne et Allegro Scherzan-do. You cant get enough of this guy once you get started, said Galway of Gaubert Galways last two pieces on the program were a commonly played 1 piece by amateur flutists, Cecile Chaminades Concertino for Flute, followed by Morlacchis The Swiss Shepherd. Galways performance was met by an immediate standing ovation, Dont wear yourselves out" he said to the crowd, and he pulled out a penny whistle for his first then finished up with two sure crowd-pleasers, Danny Boy, and Flight of the Bumblebee." The last two pieces contrasted his-" expressive warm, full tone, with a show of awesome virtuosity.

Steve Kctchers Wresding Warriors will compete April 18 at the Page High gym to benefit Vincent Bryant Grand Canyon Region champion at 152 pounds in 1997.

Bryant 19, fell into a coma last Oct 9 from an allergic rcacdon to medication in a dental ancsthcdc. He is now semi-comatose in a facility in St George, Utah. I wish we could raise thousands and thousands of dollars, Ketchcr said last week. Id like to have to turn people away. But the idea is to raise as much as we can for them.

Proceeds would help Bryants family meet travel expenses to see him at the Red Cliffs Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Center, said Ketchcr in an interview from his home in St George. Bryants mother, Marilyn, said she has been slaying in a travel trailer parked near the facility. Medical bills are being paid by Utah Medicaid, she said Monday.

These would have to be crafted to consider growth corridors and environmental issues. These plans, though, are not subject to voter approval and can be amended by a two-thirds vote of the city council or board of supervisors. It actually removes some powers from voters, eliminating the right of referendum to overturn a rezoning if it complies with the general plan. tribes annual operating budget Peabody operates the Black Mesa and Kaycnta coal mines through lease agreements with the Hopi Tribe and the Navajo Nation. The leases, renewed in 1987, provided for a royalty of 12.5 percent on each ton of coal produced.

The 10-year agreement included payment of a $1 million bonus after the contract was executed, the tribe and Peabody announced on Monday.

The new royalty rate, which wasnt disclosed, is effective retroactively to Jan. 1, they said. Both PacificCorp and Texas -i- Utilities, utility giants based in Port-Jand and Dallas respectively, have put out bids to buy Peabodys parent company, British-based The Energy Group, said Beth Ulingcr, Peabody spokeswoman. Those bids are still pending. No matter who buys the parent company, Peabody Westerns contract with the Hopi Tribe will stand, Ulingcr said.
