UPCOMING EVENTS
Simon Fest Presents: Deathtrap
August 4 - 8
Deathtrap By Ira Levin A Diabolically Clever, Wildly Popular Stage & Screen Comedy-Thriller!
Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell that has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. One day he receives a script from a student author — a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student for co-credit. Or is it? Deathtrap provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment.
Simon Fest Presents: Daddy Long Legs
August 11 - 14
Daddy Long Legs Music & Lyrics By Paul Gordon Book By John Caird Based On The Novel By Jean Webster
Based on the classic novel which inspired the 1955 movie starring Fred Astaire—a beloved tale in the spirit of Jane Austen, the Brontë Sisters, and “Downton Abbey”—this heartwarming Cinderella story about a witty and winsome young woman and her mysterious benefactor has charmed audiences of all ages from Los Angeles to London.
“A GREAT TREAT!” The New York Times
Holy Stromnoli
August 18 - 21
Comedy By John Smitherman
John and Maria are happily celebrating their first wedding anniversary when Maria’s mother, Nicolette, shows up unexpectedly. Nicolette assumes that she is divorcing Maria’s father, Sal, because he forgot their 27th wedding anniversary. And if that isn’t enough to ruin John and Maria’s celebration, Sal pays a visit. A fight breaks out, and one thing leads to another until, eventually, Sal and John end up sleeping in the guest bedroom. To save his sanity in his own marriage, John solicits help from his friend, Anthony, and conducts a plan to reunite the older couple by arranging a fabulous anniversary dinner. This is the perfect play for an evening of hilarious door slams, witty banter, and ageless romance.

July 2021 Recap of Ivins City Council Activities
Hello –
July was a busy month for Ivins City Council, here’s a summary of the key topics of discussion and decisions.
Lighting –
We finally finished reviewing the proposed changes from the Planning Commission and fortunately very few of them were acceptable to City Council. We updated some definitions, created 3 zones/districts (instead of the current 2) that are for streetlighting only, will continue to require the amber filter for city streetlights, and the CCT for both residential and commercial outdoor lights is 3000 K. The modified Lighting Ordinance will go through another review before voting.
New City Hall –
Ivins new City Hall will also serve as an Emergency Center: Council approved a change order for an emergency electrical generator so that the new City Hall will be able to serve as an emergency center for Ivins in the event of a prolonged power failure. The generator was sized large enough to power the building and also for individuals who require power for medical equipment. I think this is an important benefit for residents given the warmer temperatures and we hear about rolling blackouts – in the event that occurs in Ivins, we’ll have a place for people to come.
Black Desert PID –
A vote was held on Black Desert’s request to move forward with a PID, Public Infrastructure Development. The PID is an approved tool in UT that facilitates the creation of a specific area that has an additional property tax to fund infrastructure for that area. Think of it as a tax version of a HOA fee that will be paid by people who buy property there.
Black Desert’s initial request was for approval to use two tools, a CRA, Community Reinvestment Act, and a PID. After researching the tools and discussing them with the city’s legal and financial consultants, I came to the conclusion that I would not support the CRA and I voted against that but I was ok with the PID. Although I am not a fan of Black Desert Resort and would have preferred the entire area be dedicated open space, that wasn’t an option. The zoning change for Black Desert was approved 2 years ago and the initial plan was approved last summer. This was an extremely difficult decision for me but I voted in favor of Black Desert creating a PID for the following reasons:
1. Ivins needs a source of income from commercial development and we have very little commercial land left. Ivins gains much more revenue from commercial property than from residential property taxes.
2. Do I want a resort that brings in 800,000 visitors/year – no. But, I don’t believe that BDR will achieve that. However, I do believe that we need to give BDR the best chance of success because it is to Ivin’s financial advantage. I believe that if BDR has restaurants and entertainment within the resort, Ivins will experience less traffic and impact to the city.
3. I am most concerned about the impact on Snow Canyon, however Patrick Manning, BDR developer is creating 7 miles of soft trails throughout the property which should reduce the impact on Snow Canyon. People will be able to hike right out of their room.
Black Desert Conservation Easement –
This wasn’t a topic at City Council in July but I had a meeting this week with Patrick Manning and Wendy Fisher, Director of Utah Open Lands. Patrick has pledged 250 acres of land of the lava flow to be put into a conservation easement, 175 acres of the land is in Ivins. The land will be forever protected. It’s important to note that the land is approved for development, but because of the conservation easement, it won’t EVER be developed. Even if the resort is sold, the land is protected. I’ll have more details on this as the documentation is developed but I know Wendy Fisher and Utah Open Lands is the authority in the state on land preservation. I’m so excited about the conservation easement becoming a reality!
Water –
We didn’t have specific agenda items related to water usage in July but there is a meeting between all the participating cities in the WCWD, Washington County Water District, and the WCWD leaders in August. One of the topics of discussion will be whether WCWD will assist in funding a secondary water treatment plant in Ivins and assist in funding the reservoir needed to hold the treated water. In addition, the location of the reservoir will also be discussed. I’ll provide an update next month.
Primary Election –
There are seven candidates competing for two seats on City Council. The primary election will be held on August 10, 2021, ballots will be mailed on July 20, 2021. Please ensure you VOTE!.
Thanks much –
Sue

PETITE FEAST’S VIRTUAL DINNER PARTY CONTINUES!
This month Virtual Dinner Party chefs and diners enjoyed warm weather cooking and entertaining with a duo of seafood dishes. First up was an impossibly easy one-pan halibut with tomato, orange and olives. The recipe proved that a quick assembly of a few fresh ingredients could, and definitely did, yield fantastic results with minimal effort. Kayenta resident, Dara Warner, made the dish and was pleased with the way the bright orange flavor complimented the halibut. In her Nextdoor post, she mentioned that her husband enthusiastically proclaimed her efforts ‘restaurant-worthy.’ Well done Dara! Lisa Ganz, a new Virtual Dinner Party member, and Susan Andrechak took the recipe in different directions by subbing in brown rice and arugula for the white beans my recipe called for. Both of their versions remained true to the original flavor of the dish. Their substitutions were inspired, heart-healthy, and delicious.
Next up was a variation on the classic San Francisco fish soup, Cioppino. Cioppino is a Mediterranean style stew containing a savory profusion of seafood in a tomato-flavored broth. For my weeknight-friendly but company-fancy version, I simmered cod, crab, and shrimp in a light tomato stock and then added quick-cooking summer squash, diced tomatoes, and a handful of fresh herbs. To make the stew a little heartier, I (unconventionally) added a can of buttery chickpeas to the dish. Some VDP members felt the addition of the beans strayed too far from the traditional recipe’s origins, but others embraced the legume idea. Either way, the entire dish took only about 30 – largely unattended – minutes to assemble on the stovetop which made it a perfect recipe for warm-weather entertaining. I hope you’ll try it.
Thank you for your enthusiastic participation in The Virtual Dinner Party. Your instructive comments and Nextdoor posts are helping me become a better chef and recipe writer while also keeping our community of cooks, friends, and diners connected. I hope you enjoy the process as much as I do.
Many thanks go to Tim and Judy Terrell who have been gracious in sharing their wine expertise and recommendations. Their suggestions are always spot on and really add to our group’s dining experience.
If you are not a member of the Virtual Dinner Party Group but would like to become one, please join us through Nextdoor. If you would rather just have access to the recipes, all of them are available at https://petitefeastutah.com/recipes/.
I look forward to seeing you around Petite Feast’s tables but until that time, Cook On! – Victori

Free live storytelling event under the stars at Ivins City Park
“I decided to throw my girlfriend a surprise wedding. Everyone told me not to do it, but I love surprises…”
The theme for the evening’s stories: “Triumph”
Poignant, funny, vivid and entertaining as all get out, Coyote Tales Storytelling Events are a hit for all the right reasons! Coyote Tales are true stories told live, onstage without notes, props or accompaniments. Stories told must be based on the evening’s theme and be told within five minutes. Storytellers may interpret the theme in any way they choose.
Do you have an interesting story of overcoming an obstacle or persevering in the face of adversity? Perhaps there was a time when you snatched an unlikely victory from the certain jaws of defeat. We want to hear your story of defying the odds. But even if you just want to listen to the stories, come and enjoy a night of live storytelling and great bluegrass music under the stars at Ivins City Park.
Please join Ivins City Mayor, Chris Hart in welcoming Phyllis Barber, award-winning author of “The Desert Between Us,” Bill Wright, patriarch of the most successful rodeo family in history, Lyman Hafen, Utah author, filmmaker, and executive director of the Zion Natural History Association, activist and educator, Erika Munson, & the first female Mayor of Hildale, Utah, Donia Jessop, to our stage to share their true tales of triumph. But there is room on the stage for YOU too.
This free event begins with bluegrass music provided by Stillhouse Road and a bring-your-own-picnic party, where potential storytellers put their names in the hat in hopes of being one of the ten people chosen to share their tale of beating the odds. To beat the heat, Kayenta Homes and Properties will be hosting the water trough by providing free bottled water for the event. Founder of Coyote Tales, Victoria Topham will be on stage along with the ever-charming, “Master of Sharemonies,’ Doug Caputo. If you’re interested in getting on stage or to find out more about us, contact Victoria at the Coyote Tales Website link below. While there you can hear previous live and virtual events and get tips and tricks for crafting your own great tale.

“best experience”
of their vacation*
by my 3 nieces (14, 11 & 8) and by their mom!
Windhorse Relations at Kayenta Korrals is right here in our own back yard and it is an amazing experience. If you haven’t been to visit you really must – it’s transformative!The experience included watching the horses run and play, walking among them quietly touching them, learning how to have them trust you, and you learning to guide them in a wonderfully calm way. And everyone’s favorite horse hugs.I’ve been in Kayenta for years and have vaguely heard about the Korrals – sure wish I had gone years ago. ~ Kathi Fox
* They went to the Grand Canyon and Zion but this experience was their all-time favorite.
Windhorse Relations
Windhorse Relations is a non-profit organization that partners with the American Wild Horse…right here in Ivins. Our programs are about “Creating Willing Relationships” with the American Wild Horse and maintaining its unbroken spirit and loving nature. We offer “Where Heart Meets Horse” experiences at Kayenta Korrals during the winter. This adventure connects humans with the spiritual nature of the wild horse and themselves.
In this two-hour adventure, participants come to understand the horse’s perspective toward humans and learn to observe the horse’s nonverbal language. A critical component of this training is to create a safe space for the horse and the participant.
The cost is a $100 donation to benefit the Windhorse Herd. Reservations are required.

Namaste
Dear friends of Sacred Space Spa,
After 9 long and wonderful years in my beautiful space in Kayenta, the time has come for this chapter to end. I will no longer be in Sacred Space Studio in Kayenta come mid-August 2021. I will, however, continue my practice out of my home office after recovering from a needed surgery that I’ve put off for far too many years.
Sacred Space was a dream manifested. I’ve loved every minute of this experience and I feel so blessed to have had a community of support behind me from the very beginning. Change is never easy, it is, however, a required part of living.
While I am incredibly sad to say goodbye to my space in Kayenta, I’m also overwhelmed with gratitude for the experience of living my dream for over 9 years! The relationships I have made at Sacred Space are relationships that will last a lifetime. It doesn’t matter so much what space I work out of now, what matters are the people I get to work with, you all!
So, thank you so much for taking the journey with me. I’m embarking on this new chapter with hope in my heart and so much love for this sacred community we’ve built together. Sacred Space is more than a place, it lives within us all and will always be my work.
We will continue. Onward.
Namaste, Aly
