The first was at North Otter Elementary at about 12:30 p.m. Investigators noticed that several doors on the north side of the building had been partially burnt. Further investigation revealed that an 11 year-old from the Abbotsford area had been playing with matches, lighting cardboard boxes on fire, and shoving them under the steps. The result is that the school sustained extensive damage estimated between $100,000 and $200,000. No diarges have been laid against tlie youth because of age, and police are still investigating. The second fire was just two days later at Brookswood Secondary School. At about 2:30 a.m. firefighters arrived to find the school engulfed in flames. Investigation revealed that the fire had been deliberately set, and tlie damage is estimated between $300,000 and $500,000. Police are asking that anyone with information regarding this serious crime is asked to call the Langley Detachment Serious Crime Unit or CrimeStoppers. |*he Mdeigiov$ Meyi&JtiuSf non cxzrj-xxruncfcuzk VOL.36 NO.34 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24. 1994 40CENTS Established 1957 3089-272nd Street Fax:856-5212 Phone:856-8303 This intricate carousel, carved from Abbotsford 45 hours to carve and basswood, took Horst Jakubke of paint.
