Attack In Black enjoys diverse fan base By Cristina Naccarato Lance Writer October 31, 2007 It’s not too often that you hear of a band that can successfully combine an aggressive all-ages punk sound with “grown-up” rock, but for up and coming Canadian band, Attack In Black, no one else can pull it off like they can.  Reigning from Welland, Ontario, the band recently received ample amounts of exposure from their latest release, Marriage, from Dine Alone Records. Attack In Black made the switch to Dine Alone in the spring of 2006 from the independent label Skate Ahead Records. >> | Age of Arousal examines gender turmoil By Aaron Feldman

Mulhern tackles Charles Sylvestre case
By Kate Hargreaves
Lance Writer October 31, 2007 BookFest, which takes place at two venues in downtown Windsor, the Art Gallery of Windsor on Riverside Drive and the Windsor Public Library on Ouellette Avenue, features events to appeal to every age and interest. There is the Children’s BookFest on Saturday afternoon and a booklet making workshop, “For Kids, By Kids,” on Sunday. In addition to the numerous readings over the course of the weekend, BookFest offers workshops and hands-on exhibits to bring adults closer to their books as well. One of the featured authors this year is St. Thomas-born poet Mary Ann Mulhern. With the success of her first two books, The Red Dress and Touch the Dead, BookFest asked Mulhern to give readings at the festival, and she was once again invited back this year. “I live here now, in Windsor,” she says when asked what keeps her coming back. “I think that it is one of the most friendly cities. People here are accepting, and the University’s creative writing program is phenomenal.” >> |
