A Note From Our Director

CELEBRATION is in the air! It is because of this amazing community that we can celebrate in style this month! Without your support we never could have enjoyed over 50 events this past year in the beautiful new Center for the Arts at Kayenta. Thank you! I personally have to say this has been the most generous community of people I have ever had the pleasure to know or work with. Every member (donor), season ticket holder, sponsor and patron has allowed us to enjoy the gift of enriching arts and entertainment this past year. The one-year Anniversary of the Center is October 20th. The black box theatre will be filled with music when the daughter of Lorraine Boccardo (of whom the black box is named) Leanne Rees, performs “Spanish Sounds.” Leanne is a renowned concert pianist, based out of the D.C. area. She will donate this exciting concert to celebrate this special occasion. All proceeds will benefit the Center. Community members, Judith Kapucinski, Derek Boccardo and Lisa Bernath are making it happen alongside Leanne and her team. A wonderful evening to join together and toast our first year!

So many of you have sponsored events, underwritten shows and contributed your time, connections and talents so that we could enjoy everything from Flamenco guitarist Robert Longley to plays like Art and Other Desert Cities to Holocaust survivor Stanley Bernath and Lectures from Ron Smith. This past weekend we experienced a true slice of New York City Jazz when pianist, Ronny Whyte, the brother of another community member, flew in to entertain us. Community member, Cheryl Collins sponsored “In Her own Hand, The Life and Letters of Mary Hallock Foote” last month. A performance so unique and interesting about the woman whom the Pulitzer Prize winning book “Angle of Repose” was based. With Susan Holben as the chair, Art In Kayenta (October 12-14) will be yet another example of how much vision and leadership the many volunteers in this community must have to execute such a world class event. Our past and present board members work tirelessly, most of whom are also residents of the Kayenta community. Truly it takes a village, and you are each sincerely appreciated.

The Arts are so important to our joyful quality of life, our expanding human experience and understanding ourselves and others. In my opinion they are as important as seeing your doctor or therapist regularly. It takes annual funding and ongoing contributions to make an arts organization work. Ticket sales only cover about 45 percent of what is actually needed to maintain a World-Class Artistic Center like ours. To continue to produce and present professional entertainment, in an intimate venue takes long-term commitment of resources. I personally want to thank you for being so generous in the past and ask for your generous ongoing support in the future. It has been a marvelous, challenging and rewarding first season. Cheers and Bravo to this community, you are truly amazing. See you at the theatre!

Jan Broberg, Director, Center for the Arts at Kayenta

Movie Nights At Kayenta

Movie Nights in Kayenta

October 15, 7 pm

Kayenta Arts Foundation’s (KAF’s) Movie Nights at Kayenta will be showing films from the private collection of Richard Kinsman, a resident of Kayenta. Richard loved movies and had a private collection of over 2,500 films. He had hoped to hold regular movie nights as a fundraising activity for KAF as well as a time of community. However, when he learned he had a terminal illness, Richard granted his collection to the Foundation. Sadly, he did not survive to see the Center for the Arts at Kayenta completed and thus, his movie nights begin. Richard would be so thankful to see that his vision has come to life!

The movie is free and open to the public with the fun starting at 7 p.m., There will be bottled water, soda, popcorn, candy, and other concessions available for sale. Bring some cash* to make a donation to help pay for licensing and labor costs. Everyone is welcome!

Pianist Leanne Rees Performs “Spanish Sounds” At the First Anniversary Celebration of The Center for the Arts at Kayenta

The Center for the Arts at Kayenta (CFAK) is honored to have Leanne Rees perform Spanish-themed music for their one-year-anniversary celebration in October.

Cost is $40 ($35 if purchased by 10/15) and includes refreshments. Information and tickets are available through kayentaarts.com.

A trailblazer in the development of works by women composers, Rees researched, commissioned and performed works of women throughout the US and Europe. Among the more noteworthy of her countless performances are Rees’ performance with the National Symphony for the opening of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in DC; in the Dumbarton Concert Series; at the Embassies of Germany and India; the San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center; Kennedy Center; and to an enthusiastic full house at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.

Rees is also a prolific composer, having composed music for the theatrical production of Shirley Jackson’s “Haunting of Hill House,” as well as a two-piano arrangement of Love Songs by Cole Porter and Jerome Kern. Her piano composition, Funky Tango, was presented in concert by The Capital Composers Alliance in DC. Leanne’s recordings include Music by American Women Composers by Bravura Recordings and Women Composers and the Men in Their Lives, which made it to the final ballot for a Grammy Award.

Ms. Rees happens to be the daughter of Lorraine Boccardo, the influential woman for whom the CFAK black box theatre was named.

Kayenta Arboretum and Labryinth

Kayenta Desert Arboretum

Hooray!  Please join us at 4PM, October 10 for the ribbon cutting of the Arboretum and Labyrinth expansion. 

Thanks to a huge efforts of our volunteers, the arboretum trails now connect to the Desert Rose Labyrinth along the way plants that demonstrate the beauty of our diverse desert flora and numerous sculptures dot the pathways.  This expansion was funded by a consortium of organizations; Kayenta Arts Foundation, Ivins City, Utah State Division of Water Resources and the Washington County Water Conservancy.  We thank them all for their belief that a group of Kayenta volunteers could complete a project of this scope.  And thank our volunteers for proving them right.  If you haven’t enjoyed the arboretum and want to just take a relaxing walk, check out our new kiosk at the top of the stairs just above Datura Gallery.

Our work is not done!  Over the winter, the Arboretum is planning a number of additional enhancements.  If you have not participated in the maintenance of the arboretum or just want to be kept informed of the activities in the planning stage, contact Roger Head, rbh@mtaonline.net

PICKLEBALL TRAIL ~ Dan Cornelius ~

October Newsletter

Washout Reroute #3

The Kayenta Wash continues to erode the narrow strip of land between the Wash and the service road. This is occurring  a bit north of the Pickleball Trail (PBT) South Trailhead. I have just built reroute #3 of the Pickleball Trail. It is now very close to the service road. It is also very soft and sandy and very difficult to ride. A more pleasant alternative now is to use the existing trail on the east side of the service road.

Pink Loop

I have flagged (with pink flags) and started construction of this new piece of trail. The trail loop starts at the PBT north TH, on the west side of the fire road. Five switchbacks have been roughed in up to the summit from which a very nice 360 Kayenta view is available. Flags continue south from the summit to mark the route of the trail to the point where it joins the blue loop. The underlying soil for this trail is quite soft. Lots of tires, boots, paws and rain will be needed to make this a comfortable firm trail tread. You may use the trail now. It will slowly become more complete and more firm.

Soft Trails

There are many spots in the PBT trail tread which have become quite sandy and soft and difficult to ride. We need rain to make them firm again. Today’s weather forecast indicates that rain might happen next week!

For the mountain bikers here are some suggestions on how to deal with soft trails:

  • the wider your tires the better (3” + or _ )
  • the softer your tires the better (e.g. 20 psi)
  • the straighter you keep your front wheel the better
  • use tires with aggressive tread
  • get an e-bike

E-Mountain Bikes (e-MTBs)

You have probably noticed a significant increase in the number of these bikes in Kayenta recently. You will also have noticed the riders finish climbing a hill in Kayenta with a smile on their face rather than a grimace. The e-bikes provide “pedal assist” for the riders making the climbs much easier.  Class 1 e-mtbs are allowed on the PBT. Class 1 means the bike provides “pedal assist”( you still pedal) as opposed to Class 3 bikes which provide “throttle assist” (like a motorcycle) and which go faster than Class 1 bikes.

E-bikes of any class have been prohibited on many trails in Utah. My guess is that eventually class 1 bikes will become allowed, but not class 3 bikes.

Thanks, Dan Cornelius
