1. Great horned owls spotted more frequently in Tucson neighborhoods (kold.com) — Great horned owls are showing up more often in Tucson yards and apartment complexes, prompting concern from pet owners. Local raptor experts say the birds rarely injure animals and can't carry off dogs or cats, but may dive-bomb during nesting season. They recommend trimming brush, using bright lights, supervising pets, and reporting aggressive behavior to Arizona Game and Fish.
2. NABBING NO. 1: The real story of how Tucson Police captured John Dillinger (kgun9.com) — Tucson's role in capturing John Dillinger still echoes each January during Hotel Congress' Dillinger Days celebration. This piece revisits how Tucson Police arrested the infamous gangster in 1934, from the Hotel Congress fire to the Second Avenue raid and Pima County Courthouse arraignment. It also points out local spots today where residents can explore this slice of city history.
3. Tucson early music presenter names new executive director (tucson.com) — A Tucson early music presenter, Arizona Early Music, has tapped veteran arts leader Ben Roe—known for his work with the Heifetz International Music Institute and major music boards—to become its new executive director. Roe, who helped grow Heifetz's global online reach and educational programs, says he's delighted to join as the organization celebrates its 45th year.
4. Maker Monday: Tucson artist turns tiny strips of paper into intricate works of art (tucson.com) — Tucson paper-quilling artist Erin Newman is quietly building a following through intricate, meditative works now displayed at the Southern Arizona Arts Guild Gallery and Peddler's Passage. She also teaches popular quilling and bookbinding workshops, nurturing a small but devoted community of local crafters. Her retirement hobby has become a vibrant second act rooted firmly in Tucson's arts scene.
