It’s been over two years since our last pool party and it turned out we were ready to have some fun and party!
We are happy to host but more importantly, we were thrilled that a good time was had by all and that we were all able to party together on such a beautiful day. We enjoyed talking to as many of you as we could and left the event knowing what we have known for a long time. Kayenta residents love a good party and they LOVE where they live.
Thank you all for coming!

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Kayenta Arts Foundation, fiscal stewards, and manager of the Center for the Arts at Kayenta, we say a very fond farewell, and very hearty THANK YOU to Jan Broberg who has served as the artistic leader and creative force behind the development of programming at the Center for the Arts at Kayenta.
Hired in the spring before the opening of the Center for the Arts at Kayenta, for six years Jan has tirelessly devoted herself to bringing the vision and mission alive on the stage of the Lorraine Boccardo Theater. Under her leadership, the Center moved from being a new unknown performing arts center to one that today is known all over the Southwest for professional, unique, thought-provoking performances, many of which are world premiers in Utah. She shaped the programming making the Center for the Arts at Kayenta into a true cultural gem in the community with performances including dance, classical music, plays, contemporary music, musicals, lectures, workshops, and visual art exhibits.
We are eternally grateful for her vision, tireless effort, and incredible talent making the Center for the Arts at Kayenta into what it is today, and setting it on a path for success in the future. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you. You will always be appreciated. And, we wish the very best for you in your next chapter as you develop the Jan Broberg Foundation.
With Deepest Gratitude,
Rob Goodman, Chair
Kayenta Arts Foundation
In 2006, three musical pals decided to get together to play a few gigs; since then, the Matt Flinner Trio has been exploring new pathways and setting new standards for the bluegrass trio sound all around the U.S. and Europe.
Mandolinist Matt Flinner, guitarist Ross Martin and bassist Eric Thorin cover a wide variety of musical styles—all with the common ground of American roots music. Bluegrass, jazz and old-time music are all present here in their ways, along with a dose of classical chamber music composition and arrangement, as the members all draw from their wide array of musical loves, experiences and influences. Whatever label you put on it, it is guaranteed to be fresh and original, and definitely something you’ve never quite heard before.
Kayenta Arts Academy is an experience unlike any other – with professional artists and teachers sharing their expertise, skills, and passion for their art. Instruction includes classes in musical theater, acting and scene study, music, movement, and improvisation. Students aged 9-16 build their art skills while simultaneously building life skills such as confidence, focus, teamwork, and public speaking. The 6-week session ends with an on-stage production showcasing the skills students acquire.
We are proud to be building the next generation of community leaders and artists. We look forward to welcoming new and returning students for a summer filled with learning, laughter and fun!
RENT follows a group of artists and friends in New York City as they navigate struggles with drug addiction, sexuality, HIV/AIDS and, as the title implies, paying their rent.
Way ahead of its time, the musical has always insisted on a diverse cast, and this production is no exception. One of the strengths of RENT is the refreshing diversity and the representation of different races, body types, sexualities, and genders. The show proves that no matter the era, there will always be time for a season of love.
Everyone needs to know that they are valued and important! Tom and his Outlaw Country band want to share their love and support for those struggling and those that can reach out and support their friends and family in crisis.
Suicide is a serious public health problem that can have long-lasting effects on individuals, families, and communities. The good news is that suicide is preventable. Preventing suicide requires strategies at all levels of society. This includes prevention and protective strategies for individuals, families, and communities. Everyone can help prevent suicide by learning the warning signs, promoting prevention and resilience, and committing to social change.

Information & Class Registration
Fire/EMS
It’s annual budget time, and we have two problems. Okay, more than two problems, but two rise to the top for immediate action. The current Ivins Public Safety Facilities Plan shows there is a need for an additional fire station in Ivins as well as a need to return the Center Street station to fully operational status.
Currently, without the Center Street station staffed to provide appropriate fire/EMS services, Ivins has no fire stations and relies on the Santa Clara station on Rachel Drive, across from Harmon’s. But it barely covers half of Ivins and almost nothing north of Center Street within 5-minute response times, as shown in the Facilities Plan. And coverage is even worse west of 200E.
If the Center Street station was fully operational, like it used to be, most of Ivins would be covered, except for most of the area west of 600W which is significant. So, we still need to budget for another fire station in Ivins to ensure the whole city is served appropriately.
Everyone on the City Council expressed concern about these two problems at our last meeting. It will be discussed again at the June 2nd meeting because it is a serious public safety deficiency. In addition to the obvious safety issue, we’ve also learned that some residents are having problems getting or renewing their property insurance because of inadequate fire coverage.
There is a complication though. Although our City Council is anxious to correct this problem, Ivins shares police, fire, and EMS services with Santa Clara. Ivins manages police services while Santa Clara manages fire/EMS.
I believe getting Center Street operational again can happen quickly as long as the new Fire Chief, Andrew Parker, can juggle staffing effectively and/or recruit personnel quickly which is a challenge in this economy. Building a new fire station will take longer.
The solutions are not simple. They are also expensive. And they are necessary. I’ll keep you updated, hopefully with good news soon.
Is Ivins Ready for a City Center?
A preliminary concept plan was presented to the City Council at a work meeting yesterday (5/26) for a mixed-use development between Center Street and 200N from Rocky Vista University to Vista School. Called “City Center at Red Mountain,” The proposed development is just that, a city center or downtown. The developer plans offices, retail, single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes. More info at http://www.mikescott4ivins.com/?p=940
Finally… a Water Conservation Ordinance?
I thought it would have happened by now, but finally there will be a public hearing on a proposed water conservation ordinance for new construction at the City Council’s June 2nd meeting. You can download the draft ordinance at http://www.mikescott4ivins.com/?p=917.
Granted, reading this ordinance isn’t going to be a lot of fun. But it’s all about our future. So please download the draft ordinance and send the City Council your comments and speak at the upcoming public hearing. (email addresses at https://www.ivins.com/2020-government/)
Some of us would probably recommend no grass, no pools, no water features because we are in a severe drought. But it’s unlikely that would be approved. Some of us would probably say that since we pay for the water we use we should be able to do what we want. Given our water situation, that’s also unlikely to be approved.
Please help us navigate between these two extremes. Also, keep in mind that this new ordinance will only apply to new construction. The Washington County Water Conservancy District is working on other actions to encourage water conservation in existing development.

The Kayenta Courtyard Garden Tour – was held Thursday, May 5th on a glorious, calm morning. Clearly there was interest, as the 50-person limit was filled very quickly. Those attending had the opportunity to view six residents’ garden spaces; learn about their successes and not only get ideas but gather advice and strategies for their own courtyard areas.
It proved to be an informational and inspirational event for all. A real feast for the eyes~

“Thank you again for the most exquisite meal!” ~ Susan Recknagel
“Victoria, What a wonderful evening! Our first….but not our last. That lemon dessert was truly one of the best I have ever eaten” ~ Di Shanklin
Who doesn’t love pasta? Even with my low carbohydrate-centered diet aspirations, pasta is a ‘once-a-week dinner’ option at the Topham house. Sometimes it’s as simple as a stovetop marinara over spaghetti, and other times it’s a robust lasagna with ricotta, mozzarella, and a hearty Bolognese sauce. (I can’t help it, my maiden name is Banchero.) But this week, I wanted to make an easy pasta with a fresh tomato sauce using sweet and savory cherry tomatoes as the base. I find that cherry tomatoes have a more predictable and concentrated flavor than their larger cousins commonly used for making traditional tomato sauces. And when they are combined with a few simple pantry staples, they quickly melt down to form a lush and silky sauce that is deceptively easy to make.
To balance the sweetness of the tomatoes, I added anchovy, salty kalamata olives, capers, and a generous pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Next…..work with me here….I added a small handful of golden raisins to the simmering sauce. I know it may seem weird but the raisins add an unusual and unexpected Mediterranean accent to the dish. The juxtaposition of sweet and salty is intriguing. Once the sauce was cooked, I tossed in a couple of pats of unsalted butter which gave the sauce a satisfying richness that still allowed the fresh tomato flavor to shine through. Right before serving, I topped the sauced pasta with crumbled feta and a flourish of parsley and grated lemon zest.
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 goodwill that come from it fill us with joy, hope, and gratitude. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
Thanks for coming to the party and Cook On! – Victoria

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.

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
