LIFESTYLE LETTER
Dedicated to the Children in Our Lives As summer winds down and school commences, the carefree days of slower morning routines are exchanged for busier school schedules and sports practices. The summers tend to fly by, yet their simple pleasures never get old. Although the routine of school for our children is often a welcome friend by the time August rolls around, it is generally a little bittersweet. With that view in mind, our upbeat August issue focuses on young kids— and teenagers, too. We highlight chef Jackie Dodart’s cooking camp at Harmons, now in its sixth year—and she even provides a few of her fun recipes for children of all ages. In Holly Infante’s feature about SchoolPulse and the vision of co-founder Iuri Melo, she shares how positive psychology, delivered through creative communications, helps boost social and emotional wellness for teens. Darcy Sandvik writes about Utah Arts Academy, a high school for “creatives.” Her engaging interview with Dr. Drew Williams, principal of the academy, features his take on his student body, operating philosophy and recent student successes. Also, in this issue look for ideas to make healthy lunches and snacks for kids by Jennifer Anderson, a registered dietician with over 1.3 million Instagram followers. Her “Kids Eat in Color” is a vibrant educational resource for parents to learn the ease and creativity of “what to feed kids” who “love to have fun.” Lastly, Marianne Hamilton pays tribute to Jan Broberg—actress, singer, dancer, writer, arts advocate and promoter of positivity, who has been at the helm of the Center for the Arts at Kayenta and other arts causes in the community through the years. I am inspired by all those in our community who engage in praiseworthy, elevating endeavors. I see so many sacrifice their time and their talents to uplift others—often without remuneration. What a wonderful community in which we live! As summer ends, we hope you take time to relax and treasure priceless moments with the ones you love. Enjoy August!

CHEF JACKIE DODART OFFERS GUIDELINES FOR COOKING WITH KIDS
It 's About MORE THAN JUST THE FOOD As a young mother, I taught my children the fragrances of exotic spices and how to grow garden herbs and use them in the foods we cooked. They learned the process of picking fresh peaches in the orchard and canning them, later to breathe in the pleasing aroma of an oven-baked pie. These experiences offered fun, quality time with my children—and taught them life lessons about the energy and effort involved in getting food from farm to table. Cooking alongside a parent, guardian or loved one is usually where children’s cooking adventures begin. As they grow, we assign tasks such as cracking eggs, stirring (and licking the spoon), mixing, measuring, and baking cookies and other fun foods, which sets the stage for children learning how to cook. Teaching children how to cook ensures a healthier lifestyle. When children have the skills to prepare food from fresh ingredients, oftentimes they learn to enjoy a wider variety of nutritious foods and build confidence in feeding themselves. They may also learn the social enjoyment of creating and sharing food, and in some cases, even train for a culinary career. Six years ago, I launched Harmons Cooking School Kids in the Kitchen, and I have seen firsthand children that may be timid in the beginning, then gain knowledge, experience and confidence in the kitchen over time. Knife skills, food safety, herb identification, menu planning, cooking techniques and plating are just some of the skills we teach during our camp. Teaching children to be skillful in the kitchen prepares them not only to enjoy food—but instills skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

EIGHT TIPS FOR COOKING WITH KIDS 1. Start with the child not being tired or hungry. | 2. Involve kids in all aspects of the menu: planning, shopping and preparing. | 3. Keep it simple. Start with easy-to-complete recipes. | 4. Mise-en-place. Prep all ingredients before starting, including measuring so you know if you need additional items. | 5. Use child size tools: spatulas, knives, cutting boards and bowls. | 6. Teach cleaning as you go. Throw rubbish away and have a cleaning towel handy. | 7. Encourage and have a good time. | 8.

JAN BROBERG EXITS CENTER FOR THE ARTS AT KAYENTA, EMBRACES FULLTIME ACTING AND ADVOCACY

In the end, it was the glimpse of the ladies’ room that sealed the deal. While interviewing for the role of executive director at the Center for the Arts at Kayenta in 2017, Jan Broberg took a walking tour of the newly completed facility. Her host: Kayenta founder and developer, Terry Marten, with whom she had met nearly a decade before when he laid out his vision for the center. Upon their arrival at the ladies’ room just off the lobby, Terry beckoned Jan inside—causing her to dissolve into tears instantly. “I said, ‘You put seven stalls in!’” Jan recalls. “And Terry replied, ‘Yes, I had your notes from when we talked all those years ago; you told me that if we wanted to get a 150-seat theater audience through a 15-minute intermission, we’d need seven stalls in the ladies’ room.’” “I don’t have many people who listen to me like that,” Jan adds, still marveling at the memory. “So, when Terry asked if I’d consider moving back and taking the job, I couldn’t turn it down.” On July 1, Jan retired from her post at Kayenta, where she made the concept of listening—to her fellow employees, to members of the community, to sponsors and supporters, and to those asking her for advice and guidance during difficult times—a top priority. She leaves behind a legacy of partnerships and programming that is unique in southern Utah. Most importantly, she maintained her unwavering focus on the center’s mission to “develop and create an environment that fosters diverse artistic endeavors for educational and cultural enrichment purposes.” At the time that Jan accepted the job at Kayenta, she had been living in Los Angeles, pursuing acting roles in film, television and on the stage. “I was working five part-time jobs so I could live the dream,” she says, laughing. She left St. George with a goal of finding a way to bring her life’s story to the big screen. At the time, Jan had just seen St. George Musical Theater lose its home (prompting the dissolution of her job as executive director), her marriage had melted down, and she was mourning the loss of a beloved stepdaughter. Hollywood beckoned, with the promise of a brand-new beginning, and the potential to realize her lifelong dream. Says Jan, “I had friends in the entertainment industry who were producers, and they’d read my mom’s self-published book. One friend, in particular, said, ‘We have to make this into a film.’ He went to several places; Lifetime was interested, but ultimately it never happened. But I kept trying to put my story of hope out there, and when one thing didn’t work, I’d try another.” Jan continued to work steadily, amassing a respectable resume of on-screen and on-stage credits. But eventually, Terry’s offer proved too attractive to pass up. “The chance to do something brand new for the community, and to present programming that was unlike anything being offered in any

other venue, was a dream come true,” Jan says. “Building really diverse audience participation was a huge deal. So many people here want to see something unique and different, and that was really exciting and meaningful to me.” During Jan’s tenure, she oversaw never-before-seen productions, from the wistful comedy of The Full Monty to the searing drama of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ?, to the transformation of the Center into 1930s Berlin for a production of Cabaret, along with concerts, festivals, lectures and a host of other engaging events. Just before her retirement, Kayenta presented a sold-out run of Rent, which Jan counts among her most treasured achievements. “That one was really fantastic,” she confides, her face wreathed in smiles. “When I came back to St. George after nine years, I didn’t know who was still performing, who was still directing. So having been able to build a professional theater community that gets people involved in supporting it, and then getting the right audience to come…artistically for me, that was so satisfying. And that particular production showed that people are really excited to have a choice of artistic ‘nourishment’ that’s maybe a little spicier; a little saucier. That was incredibly fulfilling for me, and for all of our staff.” Now that Jan is no longer at the helm at Kayenta, she is eagerly embracing the next chapter in her life—one in which she can devote

large chunks of time to her two passions: acting and advocacy for those who have experienced distress, especially as children. Even as she was tying up loose ends at the center at the end of June, Jan was in Salt Lake City filming a Lifetime made-for-TV production that will likely air this fall, in which she plays the role of an attorney. During breaks in filming, Jan spent her free hours in a recording studio, capturing the audio version of her book. She is also serving as a producer on a nine-part series based on her life that will stream on NBC Peacock beginning in October, with Colin Hanks playing her father, and Anna Paquin as her mom. Additionally, she is recording episodes of her eponymous podcast, and staffing up for her new foundation established to promote child safety and inspire hope. “I believe my magic, my superpower, is my positive attitude, and my ability to give hope to someone who’s been through a horrible experience,” Jan concludes. “I want them to know that they can come back. If there’s a scratch in the record of their life that plays in their head, they can lift the needle and move it past the scratch, and create new, happy music in the future. That’s my wish: to be a beacon of hope for those who may have lost theirs.” Jan Broberg has been featured on Dr. Phil, The Dr. Oz Show, The View and The Greg Gutfeld Show.

Generation of Creatives UTAH ARTS ACADEMY IS CULTIVATING THE GAME-CHANGERS OF TOMORROW
Utah Arts Academy is an award-winning public charter school serving southern Utah’s young creatives ninth through twelfth grades. Amid the ongoing construction as part of the school’s multi-phase master plan, St. George City Lifestyle sat down with Dr. Drew Williams, principal of the academy, to discuss the student body, operating philosophy and recent successes. “Students who come here are curious and they ask questions,” Drew explains outside the digital arts classroom that will soon look like an Apple store. He emphasizes the importance of creative ingenuity in schools, with a personal anecdote, reflecting on a recent experience trying to fix his dishwasher. “I don’t know anything about dishwasher repairs,” he laughs. “My wife wanted to know what gave me the confidence to rip a dishwasher apart. I said, ‘art!’”

Drew aims to change the cultural mindset surrounding art schools, stating, “Students in the arts are probably some of the most intelligent. They’ll deconstruct and reconstruct. They think differently.” Perhaps this is the reason Utah Arts Academy is one of three top schools in Washington County, ranking highest in academics. The academy goes beyond concurrent enrollment by offering students professional internships with noteworthy groups like The Piano Guys, Due West, Bryce Canyon Wranglers, Sam Payne and Tuacahn Amphitheatre. “We partner arts and production,” Drew explains, emphasizing how the curriculum gives students a look into every aspect of a creative career, from sound and light to production and performing. Beyond traditional opportunities for Advanced Placement courses, Utah Arts Academy fosters relationships with influential organizations and studios, including Disney and The Second City. Further evidence of student success: recent alumni are welcomed this fall to New York University, Belmont, University of Utah, Chapman and The Royal Academy of Arts in London, to name a few. Drew proudly names students who are thriving in their chosen careers, including Toni Graham and Gaby Merida, for their roles in the HBO series We’re Here” and alumna Autumn Best acting in the off-Broadway production of Fly More Than You Fall. Reflecting on what he and other faculty and students have created at the academy, Drew states: “We are investing in and creating the next generation. It’s a lot like the TV show ‘Fame.’” In describing the energy on campus when it is buzzing with students, he says— “I wish you could see it!” Given Drew’s passion for the arts and for students, it is no wonder Art Schools Network recently awarded Drew the Jeffrey Lawrence Award for exemplifying an uncompromising commitment to excellence in arts education and arts training. After 19 years in education, Drew concludes, “When you treat students like they are the next generation of change-makers, they will act like it.” The Utah Arts Academy, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, offers naming rights to donors for its many studios and theaters that undoubtedly will cultivate generations of successful students. For those desiring to get involved by supporting the academy and its various programs, the Utah Arts Academy Foundation is accepting tax-deductible donations. Donors may also help individual programs throughout the school year by attending theater productions, music concerts, arts exhibitions and more.

HOW SCHOOLPULSE SERVES AS AN ALLY FOR PARENTS AND SCHOOLS, AND PROVIDES PROACTIVE, DIGITAL TOOLS FOR TEENS ARTICLE BY HOLLY INFANTE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY IURI MELO
Every parent’s dream is to see their children grow, develop and succeed—and to borrow a phrase from Thoreau—to go confidently in the direction of their dreams. In reality, however, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic, many teens report feeling disconnected and disoriented. For a variety of reasons, many teens are waning academically, emotionally and socially, and in many cases, the traditional school-based support systems have not been enough to address the need. Iuri Melo, a licensed therapist, best-selling self-help author and co-founder of St. George-based SchoolPulse, has worked
