the actual photo of the college in the film orphan,which is meant to be the "saarne institute" is this building,the alma college.it is a tragedy for such a lovely building.further down this thread the suspected arsonist is named as a troy irwin,by a previous poster,but who is he and was he just a malicious teenager or someone who was a serious criminal who committed arson,there do not seem to be any photos of him online or info on his history,can someone post a link to stories please?
Who wouls burn down a 130 year old building???they are meanie bo beanie heads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!they are history burners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!grrrrrrr...man i hate those guys
My bets friend keaton is troy's brother and he said they were payed by the old hag that owns the building ! she wanted to have it demolished but the citie said no and so she payed the 3 boys to go burn it to the ground!! she got as much charges presssd against he as they did!
I remember sitting at Southwold for recess,then my buddy tells me Alma College is on fire and his mom was going to go check it out.I was so fucking mad,it was a great hang out spot and fuck you to all of you people saying Voaden is a sketchy school if you have to sit there and stereotype and whole school because of your own flaws and insecurities good for you but go somewhere else,maybe go try writing a angry letter and not send it...
f*** i hate the f*****g ppl who set it on fire I KNOW WHO DID it :( haha fuck i was so pissed off :( i was there when it happend :( damn i miss it a lot :(
It truly was a sad day for St Thomas. A sad day for myself as well. I love that building. It was like watching a loved one die in a horrific way. I feel so angre at this city for not protecting her. I feel even more angry at the owner for destroying something so beautiful and so loved. I hope that this city has learned to protect everything in st thomas that makes this place unique and great and beautiful.
I have a long video of it, my dad and i were and still are working in St.thomas, we are delivering the phone guide. that morning we saw the huge black cloud and decided to go over there for our lunch. i recorded it with my cell phone. not sure if it will be that great but you see alot. It was really sad. And im sorry for all the st.thomas people.
hiphop70961, zubicks could make no money from this building, they had no insurance on this property nor would they be able to get any with the building being slated for demolition. when a building is slated for demo by the goverment all insurance claims are voided. I do agree that it was a very say day in st thomas, and i aswell am not ruling out the participation of zubicks but honestly he had nothing to gain from this. It looks like a random act of vandelism.
ok hiphop i dont know if thats true or not i havnt read the papers yet but its probly in there. and buttercup this isnt an argument about who did it, im just saying that i know one of the ppl that was involved was a voaden kid cause he's a friend of a friend of mine. so stop acting likes everyones accusing your school. if anyone cares about your pride for voaden its not here so go to a dif vid or somethin
I AM A STUDENT OF VOADEN...and all i have to say is ...great people have graduated from voaden Steve Peters for instance...YEs Voaden has MANY idoits...but some of us are rather smart ... AND WE ARE NOT ALL SKETCHY EITHER...and buckie has a point its parkside that picks fights with us ...i for example was egg by parkside for standing outside voaden and i have never even so much as dissed them (till now)...so why don't you all Grow UP!!!...
ok it wasnt vodent or whatever the owner payed people to burn it down cuz he couldnt do it him self because the ministry wanted to tare it but theere were to many protesters so since to owner couldnt do it he got them to which was stupid people hes gunna get publicly bashed when he finds out how much moeny it was worth and how much moeny he would have gotten if he could work hard and get off his designer chair and work on the building for historical privlages
hiphop70961, you're completely inaccurate. Study up on the history of the building and then come back and argue. I'm not saying the Zubick family (the ones that own Alma) are innocent, nor am i standing up for them.
Also, along with ButtercupQT, take a grammar course! No wonder everyone gives me a hard time about being from St.Thomas! Way to progress the negative stereotypes of our hometown!
i know for a fact that there was a voaden kid involved so ya they were right when they said it was atleast one voaden kid, but still shouldnt judge the school about it
I cant see Voden kids doing it, it was prob Parkside kids, they burned their own school n they are allways the kids who try and start fights at other high school parties
for all those people bashing Voaden One cant judge a school by the few irresponible students that attend there. And if you still cant stop being ignorant you should at least learn to spell. It's VOADEN!!!
I am writting this for a friend... I would like to know how many of yous remember the movie "Final Destanation" I have heard that there are ghosts in the college. For the ones that have done this it maybe final for you cause I hope those ghosts will get you just like you got ALMA.Also remember KARMA IS A BITCH WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!!! sincerly and RIP Alma College, Catherine and Katelyn....
And again dissing Voaden as a whole..."some of their shitty ass students...I GO TO VOADEN THANKS...and i am graduating and going to med school on a scolarship...EVERY HIGH SCHOOL HAS SOME IDIOTS VOADEN IS NO DIFFERENT THEN PARKSIDE OR CENTRAL...so grow up you judgemental freakshow
ButtercupQT, you can't go to Med School directly out of high school. If you are going to lie, at least make it plausible.
Anyone that's labeling students based on what high school they go to are immature. Don't waste your time worrying about them. I am a AVSS grad, and go to UWO for Health Sciences. Good people do come from all the high school, it's a fact, so don't get so worked up over what jerks say.
Maybe i need to clear things up for you...i'm not stupid...what i ment was i have a scolarship and i will be going on to med school...i was typing and thinking to fast ... cause frankly as an avss student i get annoyed when people put the school down...
I relize good people come from every high school again i'm not stupid...i was correcting the people that get it in their head that voaden is a crap school with a bunck of dirty druggies going no where...
This is the saddest thing I ever saw...That building was beautiful and was part of our National History...Someone will pay big for this...Some redneck kid I am sure, that could have never afforded an education in such a fine school...I went to Alma...and I know that they all hated us, but we knew it was their cross to bear....Now they are not going to have anywhere to habg out and drink...or nothing to vandalize further...
