A nursing school friend described her as “extremely kind, caring and humble,” in a post on social media, saying she didn’t hesitate to help others and treated her patients with such kindness. Others on social media described Marques as incredibly kind, including to her patients. “She was a beautiful person inside and out and will be very missed by the nursing community,” said Riki Chase, a friend from nursing school. Marques, a mother who leaves behind a young son, was remembered by her friends and colleagues for her compassion. It’s the 11th homicide in London this year. Police are urging anyone with video of the area on Friday evening to turn it over to investigators. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. One parent reported a grim quiet gripping the area in the immediate aftermath, as everyone hid indoors, he said. Residents fled from the playground and many neighbours took to social media to find out what was going on, Vashist said. Neighbours reported seeing an injured woman pulled from a vehicle in the driveway at 2229 Wateroak Dr., beside a parkette in the quiet subdivision. Marques died of her injures in hospital after shots rang out at Wateroak Drive and Heardcreek Trail Friday night just before 8 p.m. His wife opted to accompany him Sunday night as he went outside to close a gate on their property, Vashist said. Still, the shooting had a “huge impact” on the neighbourhood, Vashist said, altering the sense of security in the area. London police are investigating the homicide, saying it’s believed to be a targeted attack. It’s not something anyone should be used to,” said Andre Vashist, who runs a Facebook group for Fox Hollow residents. “An event like this, that’s never happened here before. Manage Print Subscription / Tax Receipt.They (Zachary and Nikolas) were close growing up,” said Duvaney, who noted Zachary was a “laid-back and a loving little baby.”Ī Facebook account believed to belong to Zachary recently began posting photos of the pair as children. Zachary was temporarily committed to a mental health facility following the shooting because “he was shocked. 1 - less than three months before Nikolas allegedly opened fire on his former high school on Valentine’s Day, killing 14 students and three staffers. Nikolas watched Roger die of a heart condition in 2004 when the youngster was just 5. My son was crawling on the back patio and he threw my son into the pool. The biological mother was in prison when she gave birth to Zachary, according to Duvaney.ĭuvaney, who lived next door to the family from 1999 to 2002, said Nik displayed signs he was deeply troubled even as a toddler and that “everybody dropped the ball on him.” “She was happy with Nikolas and wasn’t going to try for another one, but when she found out he would have a biological brother, she decided right away to take him, and her husband was on board,” Duvaney said. Lynda ponied up $50,000 to get Nik, now 19, directly from the hospital when he was 3 days old - and another $15,000 to later adopt Zachary, now 18, Radar reported. “You’re not directly giving money to the birth mother.” “So she went to a lawyer and did it to where you pay the biological mother’s expenses,” she said. Lynda was about 50 at the time, and she and husband Roger Cruz were struggling to adopt a child because of her relatively advanced age, Duvaney said. The birth mother, she didn’t even really know who the two biological fathers were.” “I even said to Lynda: ‘You don’t know the mother’s background.’ Both children were born after one-night stands. “Nik’s biological mother was just a complete screw-up, drug addict and thief,” former friend and neighbor Trish Duvaney told RadarOnline. Mom Lynda Cruz paid $50,000 to adopt alleged school shooter Nikolas Cruz from his “drug addict” biological mother when he was just 3 days old, and then dropped another $15,000 on his younger half-brother, Zachary, when she found out the troubled mom was pregnant again, according to a report.

The Vagrant has been released by Arrow Video on Blu-ray. It’s a pretty good odd movie, though, for fans of oddness. There’s often a jokey tone, but it’s not funny. While it’s kind of scary, The Vagrant is not a great horror movie. In its stillborn way, however, it’s still more ambitious than most crummy horror movies. The Vagrant seems to be about a lot of things (homelessness, yuppie capitalism, human experimentation) but doesn’t stick the landing on any of them. It falls apart in a more interesting way than many movies work. They do not hang together well because the tone of the film is too divergent.īut it’s not boring. And several of the individual sequences are quite good. It’s wildly underdeveloped, but shows there’s some kind of brain behind this bizarre story. There’s an underlying reason for the vagrant’s action. But at some point the film’s imagination falters, and nothing is as interesting as it is teased to be.īut the movie is freaking crazy, and that’s worth something. There’s a lot to work with in this story world. Every morning when he wakes up, his world seems completely different. The crimes of the vagrant might be in Graham’s mind. There’s a number of intriguing possibilities brought up by the story. It just seems undetermined what style that should be. There’s scenes with severed body parts that are legitimately disturbing. The vagrant is disgusting, from his dead eye and scabby skin to his deformed hands and fingers. Though a largely down-to-earth story, there’s several opportunities for horror makeup to rear its grotesque head. It seems at no time were they discouraged from wholesale chewing on the scenery, and they all indulged.Ĭhris Walas was a special effects and makeup man, and that’s where the movie shines. But these fine actors are not deployed well. Michael Ironside is a suspicious police lieutenant. Marshall Bell (from Starship Troopers and Total Recall) is the hideous vagrant. The script for The Vagrant balances comedy, horror, and social satire in such a way that it needs a deft touch with several elements of filmmaking, acting not least of all. A master at special effects, ( Gremlins, The Fly) he’d directed the not so great The Fly 2 years earlier. This is director Chris Walas’ second, and final feature. The chief problem of the film is one of tone. It’s like an unholy mélange of Brazil, a slasher movie, and some unrealized (and underimagined) ’80s Tim Burton film. It starts out like a normal horror comedy but has such odd twists and turns that to anyone interested it would be criminal to spoil them. It’s difficult to discuss what happens in the film without revealing pertinent plot details, which are this odd, tone-deaf, and wildly uneven movie’s chief source of entertainment. Either he’s unraveling… or he’s being harassed. He can’t remember if he’s done things or if they were done to him. Graham himself begins to descend into paranoia over his fears of the vagrant. Graham has an out-of-town girlfriend who visits, and then disappears from the story. There’s a ton of details that seem important that then fall by the way as the narrative moves on. Trying to recite the plot of The Vagrant is difficult because it goes all over the place. He’s also sure the vagrant can sneak into his house, despite the security measures he’s put in that he can’t afford. Graham doesn’t say anything, but he’s sure the vagrant (hey, that’s the film’s title) is up to no good.Įventually, he gets the man arrested, but he’s released with no charges. He buys the house, but when he goes to move his things in, he finds a homeless man using the kitchen sink. He tries to overlook all the problems, including the real estate agent trying to jump his bones at the showing. It’s not good, and I like it.īill Paxton stars as Graham Krakowski, an aspiring yuppie who is looking to buy his first house. It’s weird, tone-deaf, and kind of stupid. The Vagrant has about four movies worth of themes and plots, but less than a single film’s coherence. “A hands-on activity supports students who struggle with verbal skills” (Cornett, 2011).

The band's singer-songwriter frontman, Colin Hay, pursued a solo career after it folded. Men at Work have sold over 30 million albums worldwide in total. He's also said that they "simply opened the floodgates with little more than a clutch of great songs" and were "Australia's most famous group". According to Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane, the group's "phenomenal success inextricably created worldwide interest in Australia and Australian music" irrespective "of the band's fairy-tale rise to prominence". In October 2010, 'Business as Usual' was listed in the book of 100 Best Australian Albums. In May 2001, "Down Under" was listed at No. Their third album did not do that well and they let the bassist and. In terms of songs, their work has remained considerably popular. I know they were not a synth band but this was probably my favorite song by them. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1994, they were inducted into the related Hall of Fame. That same year, in Canada, they were awarded a Juno Award for "International LP of the Year". In August 1983, they ware given a Crystal Globe Award for $100 million worth of record business by their U.S label. Men at Work won the 1983 Grammy Award for "Best New Artist", beating an impressive set of rivals including Asia, Jennifer Holliday, The Human League, and Stray Cats.

The book continues the adventures of Peter Straw, a blind detective with an augmented seeing-eye dog named Watson, as he struggles to prevent conflict from breaking out in the Arctic when an Inuit teenager, a rogue A.I., and a demon start threatening the lives of local villagers. It is suitable for the general reading audience and was penned by author Shawn Adair Johnston. This is perfect!ĭemons, The Great White North and the Blind Detective is a work of fiction in the science fiction and adventure subgenres. I loved the dry humor and the intensity of the chase. He knows which characters to boost, which characters should take a step back, and when to let the descriptions take the lead. The author lays the foundation of the story on the idea of soulless humans and immortal souls. I would not be surprised if this becomes a movie one day because it has the potential. Author Shawn Adair Johnston beautifully integrates murder mystery and science fiction to develop an entertaining story. He is the eyes and ears of Peter he sees what Peter cannot and then works with Peter to get the answers they desperately need to solve this case. Watson is something special and not just because he is intelligently augmented. The synergy between Watson and Peter is fantastic. The novel is surprisingly existential at times while always focusing on the mystery at hand. The cover of the novel is deceptively simple, but the story is anything but that. Can the famous detective team get the job done or will they become a victim of the killer as well? Peter and Watson join law enforcement to figure out who is behind the killings and then do whatever it takes to stop them before it is too late. Someone or something is brutally murdering people and their companions in Inuit villages. Set in the year 2080 when flying cars are real, and the world is far more advanced than it is now, the story follows Peter Straw (the blind detective) and his intelligently augmented seeing-eye dog Watson as they work on their biggest case yet.
