“Killing Them Softly” is about as far away from a feel-good movie that you’ll likely get this year. Relentlessly violent and candidly cynical in tone, this is easily among the angriest cinematic representations of 21st century America. But beyond its precipitous bleakness, does the film at least leave us with an encouraging, hopeful message? Nope, there’s no light at the end of this tunnel here. It’s just utter darkness from start to finish.

Canyon Del Oro participated in the Dobson Ranch Invitational on Oct. 5-6, placing fourth as a team against 21 other schools from Division I and II.

The Canyon Del Oro boys’ golf team looks to have another promising year ahead. The talent-packed team, led by Jaime Waltmire, has started the season out strong, commencing with a solid showing in Division II play at the Alta Mesa Golf Cup, which ran from Aug. 24-25.

Yaqui carvings of wooden faces form a new show opening Saturday, July 11, at Tohono Chul Park.

The Canyon Del Oro Dorados are a big favorite to win Division II at the state golf tournament, and the talented senior golfer Jaime Waltmire is a big reason for that.

Nationally renowned entertainers such as Roy Clark, the Smothers Brothers and Frankie Avalon visit SaddleBrooke on a regular basis, and the community’s residents line up in droves to see the sold-out performances. If you don’t live in SaddleBrooke and are unaware of its magnificent theater at the DesertView Performing Arts Center, maybe it’s time to check out a show. And yes, tickets are available to non-residents and always have been.

Winning the Cowboy up Baseball Invitational earlier in the year, and defeating rival Canyon Del Oro, 18-6, seemed like good building blocks for the Ironwood Ridge Nighthawks baseball team (8-2) in their quest to go deep into the 2013 playoffs.

June 8, 2005 - Callista Balko got the University of Arizona softball team a quarter of the way to a win in the NCAA world series, Adrienne Acton got the rest. Balko and Acton, former Northwest stars from Canyon Del Oro and Marana high schools, respectively, provided the offense for the Wildcats in the team's dramatic 3-2 win over California in 12 innings on June 4 in Oklahoma City.

Each year the Town of Marana holds signature events. These are staples of the community and are a great way to experience all the town has to offer.

The high school that tore the Amphitheater school district apart received its first students Aug. 9, more than two years behind schedule.

Upcoming arts, entertainment and cultural events.
