Shark mafia, attempted murder, and espionage By Lindsey Rivait Arts Editor March 19, 2008 Toronto photographer Rob Stewart originally set out to make a documentary debunking the myths surrounding sharks. Stewart, however, ended up risking his life, uncovering a Taiwanese mob shark finning operation, and exposing the corruption of the Costa Rican government in his film, Sharkwater.
 “I realized that sharks are being wiped out all over the world and no one knew and nobody cared, largely because everyone was afraid of them. So, I figured if I made a movie that gave everyone a new impression of sharks, then they’d want to fight for their protection like they fight for pandas now,” explains Stewart. >> | Stitch 'n Bitch: not your grandma's knitting By Kate Hargreaves Lance Writer March 19, 2008 Knitting isn’t just for your granny anymore.

| Campus Kiss | | Eye on the Arts: Solidarity By Hannah Larking Lance Writer March 19, 2008 Adam Marz, the self-proclaimed front man for local band Solidarity, has come a long way since he took up the piano at age 3.
After joining forces with his brother, who began on the violin, it wasn’t long before the two knew music was something they wanted to pursue—just not that classical stuff they’d been dabbling in up to that point.
“My brother and I have been playing together since we were babies, basically,” explains Marz. “We started to lose interest in those classical instruments. It wasn’t cool to play those old instruments.”
 Marz and his brother, James “Moose,” collaborated with Chris “Cup” Caputo to form Solidarity, which came as a result of a few previous bands falling apart for various reasons. >> |
