Make an Artful Difference With A Year-End Donation
Earlier last month, CBS Sunday Morning featured pianist and Grammy-nominated composer Adam Tendler and the heartfelt tribute to his father titled “Inheritances”. A thrill of pride ran through me as I remembered I’d not only seen Adam Tendler perform at the Center for the Arts at Kayenta—I’d seen him perform that very program! I began reflecting on the last two years of programming at the Center—the thought provoking telephone installation “Utopian Hotline,” the visual and musical presentation of Stravinsky’s Fire Bird as reimagined by Netherland’s artistic group Touki Delphine last April, and more recently, the meditative sound bath of nature titled Crossing Open Ground, performed in the magnificent setting of Snow Canyon’s White Rocks Amphitheater by 36 Utah Tech students under the direction of five professional musicians from Los Angeles.
I realize how incredibly fortunate we are to have such artistic programming and events happening just down the street, and what it contributes both culturally and economically to our surrounding communities. Under the direction of Executive Director Miranda Wright, Kayenta Arts builds partnerships with the artistic community of southern Utah, supports new artists, composers, and authors across the spectrum of performing and visual arts, provides a professional paid venue for both visiting and local artists, and provides a living wage to five full-time employees in our community. We couldn’t do it without you—your memberships, donations, and ticket purchases.
As we close out 2025, if you have not yet made your end-of-year “Qualified Charitable Distribution” from your Individual Retirement Account, please consider this giving strategy to Kayenta Arts Foundation. We are also embarking on our End of Year giving campaign, which will help to fund 2026 programming while providing 2025 tax benefits. Tax-deductible donations can be made online at KayentaArts.org, or by getting in touch with our Box Office at (435) 674-2787.
As we look ahead to the New Year, I am anxious to explore this new season’s programming, peaking into some of Miranda’s planning for next season, and definitely discussing our eight artists in residence and the work they will be creating as inspired by this amazing space we call home–Kayenta.
Carpe diem and Happy Holidays!
Best,

Social Hour Begins at 6:30pm
Our Voyager Lecture Series returns with an evening that journeys to the edge of human exploration—Jupiter. In 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft slipped into a polar orbit around the giant planet, carrying a remarkable instrument: JunoCam, a visible-light camera designed not just for scientists, but for all of us. From this unique vantage point, a new understanding of Jupiter’s swirling clouds and monumental storms is emerging—alongside a surprising collaboration between science and art.

Creation of the Desert Rose Labyrinth
by Roger Head

Longtime artist and Kayenta resident Cheryl Collins has always believed in the healing power of art. Commissioned to create The Healing Towers, the 17 foot tall triptych sculptures depicting healing symbols from around the world at Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George, Cheryl learned first hand how creative expression could support patients on their path to recovery. Her belief deepened when she attended a three-day Sacred Sites Workshop for labyrinth facilitator training, where she was introduced to the power of ancient labyrinths and their use in walking meditation. Learning how labyrinths can ease stress and anxiety, Cheryl became inspired to develop a labyrinth in the St. George area.
Back in Kayenta, Cheryl shared her vision with neighbors and soon connected with a group of like-minded residents. Together with Griff and Bernie Schmertz, Francine Hughes, and others, she helped lead the effort to create a labyrinth in Kayenta. Terry Martin generously donated the land and leveled the site. By 2004, groundwork was complete, and Kayenta volunteers began the meticulous task of constructing the labyrinth. Based on the design of the classic eleven circuit path of the famous 12th century Chartres Cathedral labyrinth in France, more than 1,800 indigenous rocks were carried to the site and carefully positioned to form what became known as the Desert Rose Labyrinth.
To reach the labyrinth, volunteers built a winding path through the desert landscape beginning just off Kayenta Parkway. Cheryl recalls that in the early days, the walk to the site of the unfamiliar pattern might have been a little scary for some. Wanting to make the journey more welcoming, she and her husband, Gary, persuaded several sculptors—including themselves—to donate works of art to line the path. These sculptures transformed the approach into an inspiring walk, guiding visitors to a tranquil space for reflection and peace.
Then, on Friday, September 12, 2014, disaster struck. A powerful monsoon storm sent torrents of mud and water cascading down from the cliffs above Kayenta. The resulting floods inundated the Kayenta Village shops with 6 to 8 inches of mud and continued on to bury the Desert Rose Labyrinth under 18 inches of debris. Just days before, a couple from Salt Lake City had arranged to be married at the site. But the flood appeared to make that impossible. Yet, undeterred by the challenge, Kayenta residents and the wedding party came together with shovels in hand. Despite ongoing rain and the damage elsewhere, they cleared the labyrinth in time for a Sunday wedding. As if on cue, the clouds parted and sunlight broke through just as the ceremony began—a moment that perfectly reflected the spirit of the community and the labyrinth.
In 2016, with support from the Utah Division of Water Resources, the Washington County Water Conservation District, Ivins City, and the Kayenta Arts Foundation, major improvements were completed at both the Kayenta Desert Arboretum and the Desert Rose Labyrinth. These included an upgraded pathway, sculpture relocations, and extensive beautification efforts—all once again completed with the help of dedicated Kayenta volunteers.
Today, the Desert Rose Labyrinth is officially registered with The Labyrinth Society, joining a network of labyrinths around the world. Open daily and free to the public, it continues to welcome visitors seeking peace, reflection, and connection.

Tereasa Payne and Simon Hutchings: Sharing a life of passion and performance—set to music
Simon and Tereasa in the orchestra pit for Phantom of the Opera
For some people, life’s calling comes at an early age. “I started on piano when I was six and came home from my first piano lesson to tell my Mom that I wanted to be a musician when I grew up,” says Tereasa Payne. Though she switched to the flute a few years later, her goal never changed, leading to a life performing with some of the biggest names in the business, on Broadway, and now at Tuacahn, with her husband Simon Hutchings.
Simon’s parents encouraged him to take instrumental lessons as a child, and to study music in college, however, unlike many youngsters, he showed no resistance but embraced that path. “Choosing to become a professional musician was an easy decision,” he reports, “it was no decision, really!”
These musical partners both play woodwinds, flute, clarinet, and saxophones, as well as world flutes, meaning the many types of flutes, different in construction, materials and sound, that express a global range of cultural and musical traditions. They also love teaching, giving private lessons to students from five to 83 years old, many of whom, Tereasa adds, “have been with us for years!”
Tereasa grew up in Nebraska and Simon in London, England. They met in grad school at Arizona State University where they were both studying music. By 2011, they were living and working in Florida where they played with touring Broadway shows, with several symphonies, and in the bands for The Temptations, The Four Tops, Johnny Mathis, and many other entertainers. But, as concerts/shows in Florida tend to come to a standstill during the summer months, they looked around and found a theater called Tuacahn Center for the Arts in St George.
They were hired to come out to play in their orchestra for the summer season, an experience that shaped their lives going forward. “We played at Tuacahn for a few years,” Tereasa recounts, “then moved to NYC where we both played on Broadway for several different shows including (Tereasa): The Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, Something Rotten, and Allegiance; and (Simon): The Lion King, The Book of Mormon, The Music Man, Company, and the Radio City Rockettes.
Tereasa names the highlights of her career as “playing for Disney’s The Lion King, helping to write the world flutes parts for the Disney musical When You Wish which premiered at Tuacahn, appearing as a pan flute soloist with Kygo on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and as an ocarina player on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and soloing on 15 different world flutes with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.
Simon recounts his top highlights as “playing the Christmas shows with the Radio City Rockettes, playing with Steve and Eydie Gormé, having Bernadette Peters call me ‘her secret weapon’ as the woodwinds player for her solo act, playing with Hugh Jackson in The Music Man, and getting to accompany the late Aretha Franklin in concert.”
On an early trip to Tuacahn, they visited Kayenta and “fell in love with the beauty, the conservationism and the incredible peacefulness here. We decided almost immediately that we wanted to retire here in Kayenta,” says Tereasa. With her mom at Legacy Village Assisted Living, the couple moved here just this summer. Now they enjoy hiking, swimming, and “loving the views, the fresh air, and the lovely people that are our new neighbors!”
And they continue to teach, perform in online concerts, and play at Tuacahn. “Performing music is a way to give your heart and soul to people,” says Tereasa. “This is what drives us to play for others. It is a communication that is beyond words!”
Watch Tereasa demonstrate some of the world flutes on the World Flutes Promo Video here

December 2025 Ivins City Council Updates
Mike Scott, Council Member
Our New Water Shortage Playbook
Washington County is one of the hottest and driest regions in Utah, and one of the fastest growing. Because nearly all of our drinking water comes from the Virgin River basin, we are vulnerable to drought, climate change, and interruptions caused by infrastructure failures, earthquakes, or system repairs.
To prepare for these challenges, the Washington County Water Conservancy District (WCWCD), along with all partner cities, including Ivins, finally adopted a new Water Shortage Contingency Plan, or drought plan at its Board of Trustees meeting in early November.
WCWCD began working with cities to create a regional drought plan in late 2021. A draft released in early 2023 proposed uniform, mandatory conservation measures for all cities, regardless of their baseline water use.
That framework did not reflect the meaningful differences among municipalities and, as a result, implementation stalled. Nearly four years later, WCWCD and its partner cities have now adopted a more balanced and adaptable plan that can finally be put into practice. (continue reading at https://www.mikescott4ivins.com/?p=6408)
Affordable Housing: Great Goal, Challenging Location
The Utah Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) is moving forward with a proposal to build 254 small, attainable single-family homes on its 40-acre parcel just off Hwy 91 next to Indigo Trails. The land is in unincorporated Washington County and within “Area 2” of the Ivins Annexation Policy Plan.
The current concept for the development, called Anasazi Ridge, includes 254 small detached single-family homes on 3,000–4,000 sq. ft. lots, with home sizes between 1,000 and 1,400 sq. ft., all priced under $400,000. Some of the homes may have garages but it sounds like most of them won’t, and all are planned to be one-story. The development team hopes to start construction next summer and finish in early 2028. (continue reading at https://www.mikescott4ivins.com/?p=6343)
Want to Join The City Council?
There is a unique opportunity coming up in January. With Kevin Smith preparing to assume the duties of Mayor, a mid-term vacancy will open on the Ivins City Council to fill the remaining two years of his term. The City Council will appoint a resident to that seat at its January 15th meeting.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to serve, learn, and help shape Ivins’ future, without going through a full campaign. No fundraising, no yard signs, just jump in and serve. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to help make city decisions, this is a friendly way to try it out.
Applications are due by mid-December. If you are interested, please contact Kari Jimenez, Ivins City Recorder, at kjimenez@ivinsutah.gov for an application packet.
Let’s Shape the Next Generation of Local Leaders
Would you enjoy working with teens who are engaged, thoughtful, creative, and genuinely excited about serving their community? If so, I’d love to have you join me as an Ivins Youth Council Advisor. I’ve been an Advisor for almost four years and it has been fun and rewarding.
Advisors help guide our amazing group of young people as they plan service projects, learn how local government works, and explore leadership opportunities throughout the year. The advisory role is supportive, fun, and deeply rewarding. It’s about encouraging students and helping them grow, not running the show.
The Ivins Youth Council was created by the City Council to give youth a voice on city issues, build an understanding of how city government works, provide meaningful service opportunities, and develop skills that will carry into adulthood. Youth Council members bring fresh ideas to the City Council and city staff. (continue reading at https://www.mikescott4ivins.com/?p=6424)
Thank You
As this year comes to a close, I want to pause and say a sincere thank you. Over the past four years, I’ve been deeply moved by how many of you reached out with ideas, concerns, questions, and thoughtful encouragement. Whether you stopped me at the grocery store, sent a note or email, welcomed me into your home, or shared your perspective online, those moments have meant more than you may realize.
I’m truly grateful for your support and for the confidence you showed by re-electing me to continue serving on the Ivins City Council. Your support and trust make this work meaningful and rewarding.
As the holidays approach, I wish you peace, warmth, and good moments with those you hold dear. Thank you for your kindness, your engagement, and for making Ivins such a special place to call home. I look forward to continuing our work together in the year ahead.

I try to keep these articles relatively concise. Not doing too well at that. It’s frustrating because there’s so much to discuss. So, please email me at Mike@MikeScott4Ivins.com for more information about these and other Ivins issues. Also, please tell me what issues in Ivins matter to you. Visit my website at www.MikeScott4Ivins.com for regular updates and now you can also add your comments to my articles.

Shorter days and cooler nights signal the arrival of winter in the desert.

These ingredients set the stage for a comforting leek and mushroom soup, a savory arugula and grape salad, and a celebratory main course of roasted turkey infused with warm winter spices. A sweet-tart finale bread pudding made with juicy cranberries and toasted brioche brings the meal to a memorable close.

VIRTUAL DINNER PARTY #112
HOLIDAY DINNER PARTY SHRIMP PICCATA BUCATINIT
Every December, as the year begins to wind down, I feel a familiar pull to gather friends around the dining table. The house fills with the scent of something special simmering on the stove, the Christmas tree glows softly in the corner, Ella Fitzgerald croons White Christmas on the stereo, and for one precious evening, the entire season seems to slow.
As a professional chef and caterer, I’ve planned and hosted countless large, over-the-top fêtes. But along the way, I’ve learned that the most memorable holiday gatherings are often the smallest ones. The ones with a guest list intimate enough that Matt and I can truly slow down and savor the blessing of time spent with friends.
But even a cozy get-together deserves to feel celebratory. One of my favorite ways to elevate a simple December supper is by serving this elegant yet deceptively easy shrimp piccata bucatini (a spaghetti like pasta with a hollow center). Most of the prep can be done in advance, leaving only a few effortless minutes at the stove before guests are seated. Lemon, white wine, capers, and butter create a bright, briny, silken sauce that pairs beautifully with celebration-worthy shrimp.
The method couldn’t be simpler: In a skillet, reduce white wine and capers until fragrant. Add the shrimp and let them poach gently in the buttery mixture. Stir in olive oil, a bit more butter, and fresh lemon juice, then season with salt and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Toss in cooked bucatini along with ¼ cup of starchy pasta water, then finish with a flourish of chopped parsley. Serve it with a crisp green salad, warm crusty bread, and a plate of holiday baked goods you’ve likely received, and you have the perfect December no-stress dinner party meal.
To serve alongside, Tim thinks this dish needs a light, crisp, dry white wine with good acidity to cut the richness of the sauce and complement the citrus flavor; like a Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Vermentino or Verdicchio. He also wouldn’t be afraid to pair it with a dry (Brut) Champagne or sparkling wine. But, if you prefer a red wine, go with a light Pinot Noir with low tannins so as not to conflict with the spicy flavors.
Then as the evening winds down, don’t forget the most important part. Linger at the table. Press pause and look around at the people who matter most, and remember why gathering, especially during the holidays, feels so essential.
If you have not joined the Virtual Dinner Party but would like to dine with us, please prepare this recipe – or any other – and share it with your family, friends and neighbors. It is our group’s firm belief that by preparing something good to eat and sharing it with those we love, we are participating in one of life’s greatest joys. The connection, community and good will that come from it fill us with joy, hope and gratitude. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
Thanks for sticking with me for the past (can you believe it?) five years. I’m already planning VDP #113. I’m so glad you came to the party. Cook On!
Wishing you and yours the very happiest of holidays and a very merry New Year.
– Victoria
VIRTUAL DINNER PARTY #112
FESTIVE SHRIMP BUCATINI
INGREDIENTS
1 lb dried bucatini
6 oz unsalted butter, at room temperature, divided
4 garlic cloves
3 Tbsp capers, roughly chopped
1 C dry white wine
20 shrimp, peeled and deveined (16–20 IQF work best)
8 g olive oil
1 large lemon, zest and juice
¼ C fresh parsley, chopped
S&P and a pinch of crushed red pepper (optional)
METHOD
Zest and juice the lemon. Roughly chop the capers and garlic. Chop parsley leaves and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain the bucatini, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
In a large skillet, melt 2 Tbsp of the butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and sauté until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the white wine, capers, and several cracks of black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the wine is reduced by half, 2–3 minutes.
Once the wine is reduced, add the shrimp in an even layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until just opaque, 2–3 minutes. While the mixture is still simmering, slowly whisk in the olive oil and remaining butter until emulsified. Add the lemon juice and zest.
Add cooked bucatini to the pan and toss lightly. Add ½ cup of pasta water and toss with tongs until the pasta is well-coated and the sauce is emulsified, adding more pasta water as needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste and finish with chopped parsley.

DPI – Desert Preservation Initiative
Advocate: Chuck Warren
With wider recognition of a community problem, DPI takes action
As recognition of the negative and dangerous impacts of the invasive tamarisk spreads throughout Washington County, more residents are reaching out to the Desert Preservation Initiative for help in ridding their properties of this menace. Recent removal projects in Ivins and St. George signal a growing understanding of how this problem affects us all.
Ivins residents Barry Wood, who works in cybersecurity, and his wife Meltem, a linguist and AI content consultant, learned about DPI during a visit to the Kayenta Arts Festival. There, they learned about “your proficiency in tamarisk removal, which got me thinking about finally getting rid of our own tamarisk,” Barry says. “Had I known earlier what a fire hazard it was, I would have taken action to get rid of it much sooner.”
Having cut down a tamarisk infestation on their property for a number of years, only to have it grow right back, the Woods were delighted to have DPI volunteers come to their home to help remove the tamarisk and teach them how to solve the problem permanently. The growth on their property was “big enough to make you have to step off the sidewalk to get around it,” Barry adds, “and it was also kind of an eyesore.”
Barry Wood, who grew up in Connecticut and went to school on the East Coast, had never even seen a tamarisk before moving to Utah. Once he took on trying to get rid of it, he found it “interesting to see just how stubborn a tree can be.” At the same time, he was interested to learn from DPI’s brochures about the history and status of tamarisk in this area.
Brandon Rogers, whose parents live in Santa Clara, has visited the area since he was a kid and has “always loved everything about it.” He now owns a home in St. George where he plans to move permanently when his time in the Air Force, which included service in Afghanistan, Iraq and Latin America, is complete next June.
Preparing to move his family here, Brandon wanted to get rid of the tamarisks “dangling into my kids playground area. I was also extremely worried about fire hazards since I have pines in my yard and I learned about the potential for those to catch fire if the tamarisks did,” he says. He began by researching tamarisk removal in the area and learned about DPI. “I came across your articles and wanted to become a member to learn the process.”
DPI President Chuck Warren came by to assess his situation with the resulting project being the largest tamarisk removal in the fall season. Eight volunteers helped Brandon load 1900 pounds of debris into this truck and trailer. “It would have taken me months to do that alone,” Brandon says, “I was so happy because I only had four days to get the work done before returning to Edwards Air Force Base in California.”
Further work on his property remains to deal with running water nearby and tamarisk infestations on neighboring lots. But what has been accomplished thus far has made a tremendous difference because Brandon also wanted to have a view of the mountains in the distance and the willow trees in the wash. With the removal done so far, new vistas have opened up. “Now you can watch the woodpecker at work in the willow,” he says.
If you are interested in having DPI assess your property for tamarisk removal, or if you’d like to get involved in our watershed protection and restoration efforts, please send us an email admin@desertpi.org or a message on our website https://www.desertpi.org/contact-us/#contact_form.

“Ivins Inspired” Volunteer Program
Advocate: Victoria Topham
What defines community? Connections, caring and commitment
What defines community? The elements that connect people—geography, philosophy, relationships, work, commitment and, sometimes, direct connection resources. Ivins Inspired is a welcome connection resource that is helping to define and shape community in the city of Ivins by connecting volunteers to local groups and causes. As it celebrates its first anniversary, local leaders shared their thoughts on what defines community and how Ivins Inspired has made a difference.
An RSQ volunteer makes a new friend.
“Ivins Inspired is a brilliant way to connect people and raise awareness for volunteer opportunities, especially when volunteer work isn’t always on the forefront of people’s minds, “ says Lori Stone, Volunteer Coordinator for RSQ, an animal rescue group dedicated to serving animals in rural areas.
“I define community as a network of people with diverse needs and talents connected through shared interests, purpose, and location. I believe that a strong community is one where we put the needs of children, the elderly, and the vulnerable at the forefront of our decisions,” says Heather Lundgren of The Sharing Place, a new Santa Clara branch of an organization offering counseling to grieving children, teens and their families.
Shauna Fisher of ALLIs, Angels Lessening Litter in Ivins, sees community as “A place where people show up for one another as well as for the greater good—empowering and inspiring others by engaging in actions that contribute to an even stronger, respectful, connected, and kind community.”
Marc Christensen, Parks and Recreation Director for the city of Ivins, sees community as “the feeling that we are all take care of each other, of our shared spaces, and of our future. It’s a community where parks aren’t just amenities, but gathering places where people form memories, strengthen families, and develop a shared identity. When residents feel ownership, our challenges become shared challenges, and solutions become shared successes.”
A volunteer database created so that volunteers could share their availability, interests, and talents with organizations, Ivins Inspired offers connections, events, news, and a detailed volunteer form where you can specify your interests, availability and more. These tools have benefited local organizations by raising awareness of their work and their volunteer opportunities.
As the city grows, so does the need for more help on many fronts. Parks and Recreation, for example, is a small department facing a large number of programs and events along with the maintenance required by greater use of city recreation spaces. “Ivins Inspired has stepped up to provide volunteer support in both program and event management, as well as parks maintenance,” says Christensen. “We have asked for help to fill shifts for Heritage Days, the Fitness Festival, Halloween, Christmas in the park, and more. Ivins Inspired director Tiffany Wynn has been instrumental in coordinating those efforts and securing volunteers so programs like those can be offered and run free of charge for the community.”
Chuck Warren of the Desert Preservation Initiative sees community as “a group of people in relationship related to geography, proximity, activity, work, belief or mission/goal.” His vision for the Ivins community that includes “an understanding of the space, the geography and the desert climate we inhabit, which means that population will be limited by water and other natural resources, but primarily water.” He appreciates the fact that while much community work is done via boots on the ground, “community is developed via understanding, support through education, and fund raising,” elements supported by the communications efforts of Ivins Inspired. “Spreading the word, helping people understand that each has an ability to contribute and make a difference,” he says, is vital to the success of volunteer organizations such as DPI.
Spreading the word has been incredibly important to The Sharing Place. “Since we are brand new to our community, we do not have the luxury of relying on word of mouth,” says Lundgren. “Our partnership with Ivins Inspired has not only connected us to incredible volunteers, but it has also provided us with the exposure we need as a brand-new nonprofit in Southern Utah.”
ALLIs has seen the same benefits of more volunteers and increased awareness, says Shauna Fisher. “Partnering with Ivins Inspired has helped get the word out and source/maintain a database of interested and/or prospective volunteers. The best part is feeling the authentic partnership and collaboration with all the positive vibes to support ALLIs’ efforts to continue to do good for the community.”
The Ivins Art Commission places art in the Ivins Arts Corridor for public enjoyment.
“Ivins Inspired has raised the bar in Ivins City,” says Michele Adams, chair of the Ivins City Arts Commission. “There has been concern that Ivins is a city of walled neighborhoods and siloed organizations. Thanks to the volunteer network developed by Ivins Inspired, we are
meeting each other, discovering natural connections, and finding creative ways to support this community.”
Developing and supporting the breadth and depth of the kinds of connections that define community and promote engagement are the driving purposes of Ivins Inspired. As Lori Stone of RSQ points out, volunteers also benefit from the relationships they form with fellow volunteers, beyond the work they do. “We have a diverse group of volunteers—senior citizens, retirees, university/med students, young professionals, service missionaries, etc. and it’s awesome to see relationships form that may be otherwise unlikely if it wasn’t for the volunteer community!”
Join your friends and neighbors as we celebrate the first anniversary of this wonderful community resource. Sign up now to support the mission of Ivins Inspired to “elevate life, inspire wellness, and foster connections within our vibrant community.”
*The Ivins Inspired Volunteer Program is entirely a volunteer program not owned or operated by Ivins City in any manner.

INKAS – Ivins No Kill Animal Supporters
Advocate: Lois Hewitt
Ivins No-Kill Animal Supporters (INKAS) is a 501(c)3 organization and a Registered Utah Charity. It was founded in 2010 with the mission of providing support to Ivins Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, now the Santa Clara-Ivins Animal Shelter. In 2006 our shelter became the first no-kill municipal shelter in the state of Utah. Maintaining a no-kill shelter, as opposed to one that euthanizes animals after a set period of time, is more costly because the animal’s needs must be met at the shelter until they are reclaimed by their owners, adopted, or transferred to an animal rescue organization. Through a memorandum of understanding with Ivins City, INKAS provides support through veterinary care, specialty foods, and other needed supplies. Funds are raised through the sale of merchandise at various local events and through the donations of many generous animal lovers. You can help by designating INKAS as your charity on Amazon Smile or by donating on our website.

Kayenta Landscaping Committee
If you love plants and gardening….
A phenomenal new resource is now available to guide you in creating your Kayenta landscaping, available on the Kayenta HOA website.
The Kayenta ACC Landscaping Committee has just released a new guide to plants currently suggested for use, listing plant characteristics such as typical height and width, growth rate and—perhaps most useful—whether the species is available at local nurseries.
There are links attached to each of the plant IDs and names which lead to images of the plants and in-depth information available online.
In addition, the guide specifies in what areas plants can be used, such as the natural area, the transitional area or in a courtyard. A “Notes” section includes other advice and things to know about a given plant.
This user-friendly Guide to Kayenta Plants is located in the ACC’s Landscaping Documents.
ACC & HOA Information
The Kayenta ACC meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month, 1:00 pm in the Theater for the Arts. A hard copy of the agenda is posted in the Kayenta Homes & Properties office the Thursday before the meeting.

The Kayenta Concept
The Kayenta Concept is a philosophy that has steered the development of our exceptional community since its inception. The standards that underlie that concept are enforced by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC), which serves both the Shonto Point and Taviawk HOAs. The pre-amble to the 2021 ACC Handbook lays out the basics of the architectural rules that have been followed to create the homes and land-scape we live in.
When your home was designed the Kayenta Concept was front and center. The ACC reviewed your design to evaluate whether it followed the rules, and the ACC monitored construction of your home through landscaping and occupation, again, reviewing adherence to design and construction standards. When you received your occupancy permit and construction deposit refund from the ACC, on-going compliance with the Kayenta Con-cept became the responsibility of your HOA Board of Directors. Your Board has the authority to perpetuate the Kayenta Concept into the future and gladly accepts that role.
The Kayenta Concept is worth reviewing to remind us that what we have here has only happened because of the rules Kayenta developer Terry Marten set up to own, build and live in Kayenta. His vision and the governing documents he developed to achieve and maintain that vision established the Kayenta HOAs and gave them the responsibility and authority to enforce the CC&Rs that underlie the beauty and value we all enjoy
