The James Logan Courier

Courier Staff Report

The killing of a Union City boy near Barnard-White Middle School prompted Logan Principal Don Montoya to tell his staff to be especially vigilant as school let out for a long winter holiday.

Without mentioning the specific school site or circumstances, Montoya told the Logan teachers to stand at their classroom doors for at least 10 minutes after the 3:30 dismissal time because of a fatal shooting at Barnard-White Middle School.

I Am Legend directed by Francis Lawrence, is set in a spooky empty future Manhattan of New York. The stunning glimpses of what a city could look like when a plague wipes out human life are around every corner - forests of weeds thrusting through city pavement, disrepair and emptiness in the streets.

The story shows three years earlier, when doctors came up with a cure for cancer. It worked but unleashed another more virulent plague, which may have killed 90% of the world’s population.

Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the last man on earth as far as he can tell. As a scientist, he continues to search for a cure. As a man, he’s searching for a human companionship, food, and safety.
