HEAVY MACHINERY had been in use the last while to clear the buildings from.

the former highways ministry works yard on Park Ave. at Kenney. About half of
the land is being bought by the city which has plans to construct a new firehall
there eventually. The remainder will be put up for sale by the province.

City buys the property
to hold a new firehall

THE CITY is buying just
under half of the 4.2 acre
site on Park Ave. which
once contained a highways
ministry works yard.

The 2.4 acre section
will eventually be used to
house a new fire hall.

Contractors have been
at the location the last
while demolishing and re-
moving buildings from the
property.

It is now zoned for mul-
ti-family residential use.

The last tenant at the
property was Nechaka
Northcoast Construction
Services, the area’s pri-
vate road and bridge main-
tenance contractor.

It then moved out to a
new location west of the

city and the property has °

been vacant ever since.
The land is owned by
B.C. Buildings Corpora-
tion, the crown corparation
which acts as the provin-
cial government's landlord.
Corporation official
Kathleen Elliot said the
property must first be offi-
cially subdivided before

the sale to the city goes
through.

“We have had a couple
of inquiries about the other
half, basically for a multi-
family use,” she added.
“One is for senior accom-
modation and the other for
apartments.”

The corporation must
now determine a value for
the piece of the property
the city isn’t buying and it
must then decide how it
will sell it.

“It may be a direct
listing by ourselves or we
could go through a
realtor,” said Elliot.

Although there was ex-
tensive engine and other

maintenance work done on
the site over the years, an
inspection has given it an
environmental green light
and no remedial work is
needed, she said.

“It has been checked
and it’s clean,” Elliot
added.

“The property is well
within the required stan-
dards and there is no con-
tamination.”

She did say two under-
ground fuel tanks need to
be removed.

A great portion of the
land is covered by asphalt
and its removal, depending
upon future uses, will be
up to the purchasers.

MP holds firm
on not taking
pension plan

SKEENA MP Mike Scott says he won’t be among Cana-
dian Alliance MPs who will ask for their constituents’
blessing to join the controversial MPs’ pension plan.

Several of the party’s MPs have said they may join a
modified version of what many of them denounced as
the “gold-plated” MPs’ pension plan.

Scott said if they want to go to local voters in the
next election, that’s fine with him, but he’ll continue to
turn down a pension that would be worth at least a mil-
lion dollars tohimi =~ :

“I feel I’ve made a cammitment and I feel that m
word is warth something,” Scott said,

He’s among 32 of Alliance MPs who aren’t part of the
plan. The remaining 25 are part of the plan either be-
cause they automatically had to be part of it if they were
elected in 1997, or by voluntarily joining.

Scott also noted he’s not sure whether he’ll be going
before the voters again.

“I haven’t made a decision as to whether I'll run
again in the next election,” he said.

Scatt said the Liberals have deliberately tried to keep
the issue alive to embarrass Alliance MPs.

The Secret of a Well-Made Denture.

Constructing a dental prosthesis is an art that
requires patience, meticulousness and experience.
And the denturist is the undisputed master in this
field. 7

To make sure the job is done right, the
denturist starts out by taking an impression of your

reproduce your bite, example, the relationship
between the upper and lower gums, These wax
denture bases allow the denturist to reproduce your
natural teeth as closely as possible, they are called
“wax try-in dentures", A try-in denture consists of
a band of wax on which the denturist arranges and
rearranges artificial teeth until the most aesthetic
look is achieved. The try-in plate is designed to be
adjusted directly inside the mouth, This means that °
the margin of error.between the try-in plate and the
final denture is minimized, : —

We cannot construct your prosthesis while
skipping the all-important try-in plate. Only a_
custom-made prosthesis constructed in accordance
with accepted procedures will guarantee your.
appearance, your comfort and, especially. your
health. oe

Always remember that a beautiful smile is one
that has been shaped to your mouth by a recog-
nized, qualified denturist: —
