The 56-year-old law- yer confirmed he will run again in municipal elections Nov. 16. Talstra said he’s con- sulted local supporters and been encouraged to stand for mayor again, “My children are older now,” he said. “I have even more time than | used to have. And I’ve hired a few more lawyers in my firm here to lessen the load.” Talstra has been on council for more than a quarter century.

But Lindstrom said Vic- toria hasn’t taken the next step and made that timber available to small users to help foster desperately needed employment here. Likewise, although SCI could face penalties and lose timber over its failure to meet cutting targets in the past five years, Lind- strom, doubts much will happen. . “PH believe it when | see it,” he-said. He also-says a new Market-based stumpage system hasn’t led to more affordable timber. “LT think it’s a number they just pulled out of the sky,” he said, adding the ministry seems to be under pressure to maximize the money it can extract from small business buyers.

On SCI, Talstra said he thinks there’s too much focus on labour costs right now, adding promised pro- costs are just as crucial. He said plans for a cruise ship pert al Prince Rupert will yield regional tourism dividends, and said he’s excited about prospects for regional 911 service. . Three years ago Talstra ran a record of no tax in- creases and pledged re- newed work to ensure Skeena Cellulose's long term stability and to turn Mills Memorial into a re- gional hospital. He conceded many challenges remain and some have intensified since 1999, “Sometimes things all seem to fall into place,” he said. “I think we’re on the verge of that.” Talstra has faced other mayoral challengers in the past, but has never been defeated at the polls. give up in disgust Richard Lindstrom — than the revenue to the povernment is, worth. “They apply all the rules to the little guys. They're not applying them to the big guys.” Salvage permits have been offered to log smaller quantities of wood, but Lindstrom said much of that is pulp wood that major licensees don’t want. The province is about to revamp its small business program, which takes on the new name of B.C, Timber Sales. Lindstrom isn’t optimis- a. “Unless. they come up with a different concept, this*province is going to keep plummeting down, down, down,” he said. = KSAN SOGIETY.:. ths .
