FORESTRY PLAN

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-

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

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:

Quota holders will be encouraged to ar-
range log trades and to locate pulp
markets in order that the forest profile

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.

To obtain this, various management

the plan.

Total anticipated increases should

NEC wants
more funds

By CasNews Staff

The National Exhibition Centre has asked the
Central Kootenay Regional District to increase its annual
contribution to the centre.

“We are looking for between . . . $5,000 and $7,500,”
NEC director Lucille Doucette told the regional board
Saturday.

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.

fertilizer.

Harasym said the regional board's solicitors have been
asked to review the zoning definition.

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.

If the zoning doesn’t allow for selling retail items, the
property must be rezoned — and that couldn't take place
