FORESTRY PLAN continued from front page will be taken into consideration and some will be incorporated into the plan. If the comments are not within the scope of the plans — such comments dealing with specific areas or provincial policy — the ministry will contact the groups or individuals regarding those comments. After the plan is in place, the ministry will work on the specifics of the plan. The draft plan states that timber in domestic watersheds will continue to contribute to the timber supply, although the capability to harvest and reforest sensitive sites and areas of difficult access will be improved. Included in the plan are four alter- industry plans. The Forest Service does not prefer this direction because there are a number of watersheds of a sensitive nature which require further detailed planning before operations could be considered. The Forest Service's solution is to ensure planning of sensitive water- sheds. It says each watershed must be assessed individually by district staff with the assistance of the regional specialists and the level of planning necessary determined. A general plan for watershed de- velopment will be created to provide users with an approximation of where and when harvest operations are ex- pected to occur. The level of public involvement required will vary @ith the natives to harvesting in watershed areas. “One alternative is to avoid har- A second problem in forest manage- ment concerns problem forest types. 0 stands of hem- vesting in d ds. But the draft plan says this is not con- sistent with the Forest Service's policy of multiple use and would lessen the amount of timber to be harvested in the Arrow TSA with serious conse quences in terms of employment. Another alternative is to delay har- vesting of domestic watersheds for 10 years. The plans says this would allow time to carry out studies and collect detailed information. It would also provide an extra degree of certainty when predicting management impacts and would be used in the most sensitive areas, but the plan says this would not be desirable. It says this option would create “undue pressures on areas not in domestic watersheds and could also result in a heavy rate of harvest in domestic watersheds once logging commenced.” A third alternative is to allow sele- cted areas to be developed as soon as possible. Many watersheds have exper- ienced logging with no adverse effects noted in the past. This option could be used with similar drainages where careful operating practices alone will protect watershed values. A fourth alternative is to permit harvesting to oc¢ur in all watersheds immediately based on current forest lock, balsam ‘and some cedar, as well as deciduous species, are occupying sites that could be ing vigorous, Canada Day in Nelson By CasNews Staff The release of 2,000 bal- loons and an eight-by-four- foot birthday cake will be among the highlights at Can- ada Day celebrations planned for Lakeside Park in Nelson July 1. The theme for this year's Canada Day will be in honor of “youth,” and a “Mr. and Ms. Youth” contest will be held, according to a Nelson Chamber of Commerce re- lease. Other events will include logger sports at a new log- ging arena site — including powersaw bucking, a choker race and log burning — the “great inner tube race” and the annual city police dunk tank. The recreation facilities are not widely publicized and are known gen- erally only to local residents, according to the Forest Service. The majority of visitors are local residents and their guests. The question of better publicity is often discussed, but with the low carrying capacity of the sites, and the minimal maintainance programs in place, it is felt that the recreation sites would not withstand the influx of visitors which would result from ad- vertising, the plan says. Over the next 20 years, the Forest Service intends to increase the number of recreation sites and trails by about two per cent per year. This figure coin cides with estimated area population growth provided by Statistics Canada and is expected to fullfil 60 per cent of peak demand. Except for times of peak demand (summer long weekends) supply is expected to equal or exceed demand. Meeting 60 per cent of peak young stands of commercial species. Rehabilitation of these sites is, in general, uneconomic due to high har- vesting costs and absence of a market for timber. To encourage economic use of these stands, timber sales in various timber types can be readied under the Small Business Enterprise Program to enable quick response to market di demand will make most ef. fective use of the resources available to the recreation program. “We believe this July 1 celebration will be better than ever,” says Phil Pear. sall, chamber of commerce manager. “This is a great opportunity to bring the community, but most of all familes, together.” Also planned are: speeches by Mayor Louis The area now within the Valhalla provincial park is excluded from the TSA.

Under Forest Recreation, the draft plan explains the current program. The Forest Service Recreation program is aimed at forest-oriented recreation. The Fofest Services currently provides 274-kilometres of summer and winter trails and 29 recreational sites for public use within the Arrow TSA. Trails with primarily summer use lead to alpine areas, isolated lakes or historic sites. Other trails are used primarily for cross-country skiing dur- ing the winter months. The recreation sites are primarily water-oriented, of- fering a pienie spot or small campsite. can be years from now. It has been tempor- arily set at 625,000 cubic metres a year or an increase of 6,000 cubic metres per year over the present AAC. To obtain this, various management practices must be implemented, says the plan. Total anticipated increases should outweight total anticipated decreases resulting in an overall possible increase to the AAC of 49,40,950 cubic metres or a total AAC of 659,910 cubic metres, Reducing the target to 625,000 cubic li fil metres Rrovides ressonatie margin ONCE file for error and lish: a realistic goal, the plan states.

Doucette said the NEC received a total of $3,300 last year from the individual communities on the regional board, but that included $2,700 from the City of Castlegar. She said the centre “continues to be an orphan” and needs more support from Central Kootenay communities. Doucette pointed out in a brief to the board that local governments contributed only nine per cent of the NEC's 1984 budget of more than $91,000. She said the average level of local support for the other 21 NECs across the country is 34 per cent. She said the average level of local support for the other 21 NECs across the country is 34 per cent. Kelowna’s NEC has a budget of $250,000 of which 64 per cent is contributed by local governments. “This is one problem that exists here that does not exist in most other centres,” Doucette says in her brief.” namely, the lack of local government support.” Doucette admitted that “funding of the NEC has always been a sensi issue,” but added, “The time has come for the Regional District of Central Kootenay to join with its citizens in support of the centre.” She called the NEC “the only institution of its kind in the southern Interior.” Doucette added that the NEC attracts more visitors from outside the West Kootenay than local visitors.

Apparently, Chang’s Nursery is interested in relcoating to the site. But Hipwell says if the zoning is for a nursery, then it should allow selling retail items such as fertilizer.
