## Resource

A fire tore through a Kerikeri cafe right beside New Zealand’s oldest stone building and the Pioneer House — both miraculously spared thanks to quick firefighting. But the real story? Two suspicious fires in quick succession, including one mysteriously set tree, pointed to arson. Community tips helped police zero in on a 19-year-old, who’s now charged with setting both blazes. Court date: September 15. History’s guardians are breathing easier. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
