After 4 fires in the same vacant North end building, City police and fire officials are looking for your help in finding out who is responsible.
Fire Chief Kevin Clifford tells CHSJ News it's hard to say whether it's a single arsonist or different groups of firebugs--but they don't have a definite impression either way. At this point, he says they're considering putting the building under 24 hour surveillance.
Fire crews were called to 168 Main Street for the second time this week in the wee hours this morning. The other fires occurred on January 11th and February 13th. No one has been hurt in any of the fires.

Stegmann was the keynote speaker at the Pathways to Empowerment conference for International Women's Day. He book, 7 Virtues of a Philosopher Queen, describes the ways Stegemann achieved her personal and professional success.

Organised Labour in the province sending out a message to mark International Women's Day that there's still alot of work to be done to ensure women's equality.
Tammy Moore chairs the New Brunswick Federation of Labour's Women's Committee and she tells CHSJ News pay equity and not having access to affordable childcare are squeezing the middle class. Moore says they've been told this is not the right time for pay equity considering the fragile state of the economy.
Moore is also disturbed by a provincial survey that found 53 per cent of New Brunswickers believe it's not a crime to slap your wife in the face after an argument and 27 per cent don't believe it's a crime to rape your wife.
Is "The Hockey Song" a good enough reason for Stompin Tom Connors to be made a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder?
The Bank of Montreal's Leigh (Lee) Winchester seems to think so, comparing Stompin Tom to Foster Hewitt.
The Bank is involved in sponsoring alot of hockey teams including the Chicago Blackhawks, the Canadian Hockey League and its 48 teams along with the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League.
It's hoping people will write to the Hockey Hall of Fame to push the idea and go on social media.

Two 17 year old high school students, whose parents were away on vacation, will be sentenced later this month for breaking into a home on John Street in Rothesay.
The two pleaded guilty at their initial court appearance. They were arrested after police stopped an S-U-V that was seen leaving the area while they were investigating the breakin.
Nothing was taken because the alarm sounded and the two took off.
Rothesay Regional Police have another breakin on their hands. This one occurred on Melanie Drive with four flat screen TVs, cash, jewellry and electronics reported stolen.
A vehicle was later found abandoned by the RCMP in Hampton and police are investigating to see whether there's a connection.
