Arizona Illustrated 1150: Pigs, toads and a Falcon Band

This week on Arizona Illustrated…we dedicate our show to stories produced by University of Arizona School of Journalism students including a look at one of the largest pot-bellied pig sanctuaries in the country; a program helps keep your dogs safe from psychedelic toads; the Catalina Foothills Falcon Band is marching toward success and Groundworks is holding space for young Tucsonans to get creative. Ironwood Pig Sanctuary Mary Schanz and her team care for 680 pigs in Marana, making Ironwood on of the largest pot-bellied pig sanctuaries in the country. The rescue pigs come from different backgrounds and conditions, and include special needs pigs, injured pigs and frat boys. Sonoran Desert Toad Awareness Training The Humane Society of Southern Arizona holds a training program for dog owners to train their dogs to avoid possible future contact with the Sonoran Desert Toad, also known as the Colorado River Toad. What may seem like an average amphibian can be deadly for dogs. The same glands that produce the toad’s poison also produce an extremely powerful psychedelic, known as DMT. We watched a training session led by Animal Experts Inc. to learn more. Foothills Falcon Band Since 1992, when she had only 17 students, Foothills legend Renee Shane-Boyd has led the Catalina Foothills Falcon Band to great personal and team successes. With the help of a school district unwavering in its support for the arts, the program grew to be the largest marching band in the state. Groundworks to the Moon! Groundworks is a youth-driven arts and music space in Tucson, Arizona. Luca and Rowan Cafiero are the embodiment of what Groundworks can be, a safe space for young people to gather in community, grow their art and confidence, and explore who they are.
