Zack & the Morrises launches their EP By Amy Szybalski Arts & Culture Editor Last week, The Argus had the opportunity to sit down with three members of the up-and-coming Thunder Bay band, Zack & the Morrises. We talked about their music, their influences, their hockey teams, and where their sound is going. Zack Santerre, [...]
By Amy Szybalski Arts & Culture Editor My family has never really been one to go through with April Fool’s Day pranks. Often as a child, I threatened to get up before my father and replace the coffee in his coffee maker with dirt, chocolate, or some other substance coloured similar to coffee; of course, [...]
The Many and Varied Achievements of a First Year Student By Stephanie Raycroft The Argus It seemed very strange to Sara how her year was ending. It had all happened so fast that she couldn’t possibly keep track of all of it. She felt different than she had moving in. When her Dad dropped her [...]
LU Visual Arts Students take the spotlight By Ellen Stevens Staff Writer On Friday March 15, the Lakehead Department of Visual Arts was proud to host the opening of The Juried Student Art Exhibition at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery. The exhibit showcased pieces of many different art styles including interactive, realism, surrealism, abstract, and [...]
By Amy Szybalski Arts & Culture Editor Maybe it’s because I enjoyed my David’s Tea fake-outs last week, or perhaps I simply like the idea that I can save money on something that is so delicious and overpriced, but flavoured cream cheese from the Bagel Store is my new target for the week. Priced at [...]
By Stephanie Raycroft The Argus Sara shook her head as she muttered to herself,“Gross!” Chase and Courtney didn’t seem to mind, as they once again found themselves occupied. Sara turned her attention to her computer, trying to burn the disturbing image from her mind. Did they really have to do that in here? Chase had [...]
Tolkien fans gather in Thunder Bay to discuss Middle Earth, and the adventures that started it all By Emily Woodbeck There was once an Oxford professor who was fascinated by myth. He often wrote stories for his children about knights and dragons. Late one evening, while grading papers, a character popped into his head. He [...]
By Amy Szybalski Arts & Culture Editor I think I’ve begun to find myself in this new obsession. Well, it’s not exactly new, it’s positively ancient − but maybe “new-ish” to me. Tea. I love tea: all kinds, all temperatures, all different times of the night. But I also probably spend a little too much [...]
By Stephanie Raycroft The Argus Sara sat on her bed with her blankets covering every inch of her body, save her eyes and nose. Even still, she felt chills travel up her spine. Wide-eyed, she gasped as she listened to a story on her television about a particularly grisly murder that resulted from years of [...]
By Stephanie Raycroft The Argus “Perfection takes time.” Four years in the making, Jean-Paul De Roover’s fourth studio album, Complexity in Simplicity, is certainly a prime example of that age-old adage. Produced by Juno-nominated producer Ben Leggett and De Roover, the album was recorded and mixed at Dining Room Studios here in Thunder Bay! Using [...]
She’s just a girl trying to find a place in this world By Amy Szybalski Arts & Culture Editor Have you ever felt the world pushing in on you? The crushing feeling that everyone not only doesn’t understand you, but thinks that there might be something fundamentally wrong with you because you don’t seem to [...]
By Amy Szybalski Arts & Culture Editor I think my favourite type of food ever is breakfast. I love all kinds of breakfast foods: pancakes, waffles, muffins, eggs… you get the picture. In one way, the student’s kitchen, with its limited equipment, is perfect for making breakfast foods. Eggs become fluffier, and are faster and [...]
By Stephanie Raycroft The Argus As Sara sprinted up the stairs her foot caught on a step and down she went, the papers from her binder fluttering peacefully through the gaps between the steps to the bottom landing, two flights down. “Ughhh!” Sara sighed as she trudged back down to shove the papers hastily into [...]
By Stephanie Raycroft The Argus Some say that change is inevitable and resistance is futile… Star Trek references aside, Edmonton-born synth power-pop band Christian Hansen are no strangers to change. Following the release of their debut full-length album, C’mon Arizona, it’s obvious that the changes in their lives have been nothing but beneficial. Recent alterations [...]
Liana Frenette explains her labour of love By Amy Szybalski Arts & Culture Editor As part of Ontario Heritage Week, the City of Thunder Bay set up a series of events from February 18th to 24th in the city’s south core. The Thunder Bay Museum hosted one of the busiest events of the week, a [...]

Director Gabe Ferrazzo, who has been with Cambrian as a director, set builder, [...]
By Stephanie Raycroft The Argus Jesse hadn’t talked to Sara in weeks. It wouldn’t be all that strange, except that they talked every day before now. Sara wasn’t stupid. She knew what had happened was probable cause for the silent treatment. After all, you can only reject a guy so many times before he loses [...]
“I’m still alive, but I’m barely breathing” By Stephanie Raycroft The Argus Five minutes in and you’re already singing the first line of “Breakeven” by The Script. You’re sweaty, your legs are tired, and you have a cramp in your side that just won’t go away. Despite the wide range of possibilities as to [...]
By Amy Szybalski Arts & Culture Editor Lent continues, and that means the fantastic vegetarian recipes do too. I know, I’m excited! Vegetarian cooking is something that just makes sense. You get a lot of flavour from all of the different veggies you include, and you can really discover some new ones that will astound [...]
By Stephanie Raycroft The Argus “Hurry up,” Courtney called, “it’s cold and we’re almost there!” The scene was a familiar one. Sara was dressed in Courtney’s clothes, hobbling far behind her as they braved the elements to attend another one of Chase’s keggers. The embarrassment from the first one still hung in the back of [...]
