The Fredericton Fire Department is investigating a fire that occurred on the site of the Nashwaaksis Arena early Sunday afternoon.
The arena, located on Johnston Avenue on the north side of the city, was being demolished.
Fire officials said the pile of rubble at the site caught fire at 2:15 p.m. Arson is suspected, said Fredericton Police Force Cpl. Dwight Doyle.
"We believe it was set," said Doyle. "By who, we're not sure. Right now it's an arson investigation, and the fire department starts that, and they let us know when it's time to bring us in."
Assistant deputy fire chief Bob Martin said a construction worker, who was working at the site, stepped away for half an hour.
When he returned, Martin said, the pile of rubble was on fire.
Two thirds of the pile was up in flames when firefighters arrived on the scene, he said.
Sixteen firefighters and six pieces of equipment were used to fight the stubborn blaze.
"Steel had been separated from the building itself, the demolition crew had done that," Martin said. "What we have here is burning rubble - a lot of it is roofing material, siding, insulation,"
No homes or businesses were evacuated, but the fire department advised people living in the area to keep their windows closed and shut off their ventilation systems.
No one was injured.
Martin said the fire department called the Department of Environment to assess the site, since some of the water used to put out the fire may have run into the river.
Michael Correy from the Environment Department arrived on the scene shortly after 5 p.m. The details of his findings should be available this week, but Martin said he isn't concerned.
"I personally don't believe there is any hazard or any problem," Martin said.
But it's standard procedure where we're close to the river, we do have the run off.
"But there is a fair amount of ballfields between us, so the absorption rate is pretty good."
Martin said firefighters needed to flip the pile of rubble upside down because a lot of the fire came from underneath.
Firefighters were on the scene until 7:42 p.m. Sunday.
The Fredericton Police Department was helping the fire department by controlling vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Doyle said Main Street was blocked from Brookside Drive to Sunset Drive to allow the fire hose to cross the street.
Nancy Stewart, who lives in Devon, heard the sirens from her home. She said she hopes someone didn't start it intentionally.
"I think it's a shame if it was set because all the smoke and fumes are bad for people's health, and it's not good to have that," she said.
The 38-year-old arena was closed and demolished because the city decided to build a new sports complex on the north side.
Stewart said the arena had a special spot in her family's heart. Her son played hockey there when he was younger.
He's living out west now, but Stewart said she has been sending him newspaper clippings and photos of the arena.
She said when he hears about the fire, he will be flooded with memories of his childhood.
"It would make him think of all the times he had there, playing hockey and enjoying himself," she said.
Ernest MacFadzen was a co-chair on the committee that tried to save the arena and have it converted into a community centre.
"I think that the arena said, 'Well if you're going to tear me down, I'm going to burn up. I'll make a stink,' " MacFadzen said.
But joking aside, he said he's sad to see the arena gone.
"The arena was the linchpin of our community of Nashwaaksis," he said. "Everything happened there. There are ballfields, tennis courts around handy.
"That arena could have been a community centre with very little problems. I just feel bad that we weren't able to convince the city to retain it as a community centre."

Canada wins world gold

The tears in coach Andy Murray's eyes as he addressed his Canadian team for the final time said just as much as the words coming out of his mouth.

His players stood around the dressing room in red Canadian jerseys draped with gold medals from the IIHF World Hockey Championship on Sunday, moments after watching Rick Nash score a breathtaking breakaway goal to secure a 4-2 win over Finland.

Murray had spent much of the past month explaining systems and strategies to the team, but his final message was about something much more important.

"Life is all about making a difference," he said. "You guys made a difference in Canada today. . . .

"We've got the deepest emotional well in the world for the game of hockey. I'll tell you, when Rick Nash was going in on that breakaway in the last minute or so, 31 million Canadians were carrying our emotions with him."

The elation on the faces of the players as they doused each other with champagne soon afterwards suggested that they understood.

The Canadians travelled a long way to play this tournament at a time when each of them could have been relaxing and playing golf. Nothing was more important than the gold medal to the guys who volunteered almost a month of their time to come to Russia and play for Canada.

"We do the best we can not to let our country down," said forward Justin Williams. "Every single guy worked his tail off to get what he deserved here. And we deserved this gold medal."

It was a textbook example of the formula needed to win international hockey tournaments.

Canada got goals from skilled players and grinders, timely saves from goaltenders Cam Ward and Dwayne Roloson and learned from its early mistakes. It all added up to a third world championship title in five years.

Seems a Power cable broke and came right out on the street shooting flames and scaring the poop out of everyone lol, who were walking along King street on Wednesday Afternoon, so City Police and Fire blocked off a small area and messed up traffic for a couple of hours.

Atlantic provinces to review lotto corporation

All four Atlantic provinces are launching an extensive review of the security and integrity of Atlantic Lotto.

The Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation announced Tuesday it would team up with similar bodies in the other provinces to pay for the $300,000 investigation.

NSGC president Megan Mullally said looking at lottery ticket sales is essential given a recent report that found retailers are winning a disproportionate amount of the prize money.

"People have to have confidence that our systems are fair, secure," she said.

The review of the Atlantic Lottery Corporation will cover bingos, video lottery terminals and the Charlottetown racetrack, as well as lottery ticket operations.

Atlantic Lotto spokeswoman Paula Dyke said the corporation will co-operate with the review.

"It references a number of aspects of ALC business, it talks about all aspects of our operations, and to date, most of our focus has been on issues arising from retailer wins," she said.

In March, Atlantic Lotto released a report that found lottery ticket sellers won 10 times more often than a statistical analysis says they should have over the last six years.

The report prompted one consumers group to call for an RCMP investigation.

In New Brunswick, the provincial ombudsman said he would monitor Atlantic Lotto's attempts to protect consumers but he did not think an investigation was necessary.

Incredible new images from Jupiter show volcanic eruption

NASA said the pictures have impressed scientists with never-before-seen perspectives of the giant planet's atmosphere, rings, and moons, including a volcanic eruption

The new views included the closest look yet at the Earth-sized "Little Red Spot" storm, churning materials through Jupiter's cloud tops.

One of the large moons, named "Io", is thought to be the most volcanically active body in the solar system, and scientists say the pictures from New Horizons show a volcanic eruption taking place.

The piano-sized robotic probe's seven cameras revealed an umbrella-shaped plume rising 200 miles into space from the volcano Tvashtar.

"It's really exciting that it performed for us," said John Spencer of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

"Galileo was orbiting for six years and we never saw plumes like that," he said, referring to an earlier mission.

The probe also revealed a mystery volcano, so young its lava has just reached Io's surface, but has yet to emit enough gas to produce a plume.

"We're seeing the birth of a new volcano here," Spencer said.

In about eight years, the mission will produce the closest-ever views of Pluto and the hundreds of other icy objects in the distant Kuiper belt region.

But for now, the NASA scientists are happy with the test drive.

"I think we're ready to rock and roll." Stern said.

New Horizons reached Jupiter thirteen months after lifting off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, in January 2006 and is expected to reach Pluto in 2015.
