An unusual job for a woman; Lynn Tyron, Liquor Inspector Lynn Tyron of Terrace is one of only two female liquor in- spectors in B.C. The other one is Bonnie Comex of Cranbrook. _Lynn’s jurisdiction, the largest physical area in B.C., covers as far north as the Yukon border, east to Telkwa, south to Kitimat and west to the Queen Charlotte Islands. In that area, Lynn serves approximately 300 licensees. by Betty Barton Lynn worked her way up from liquor store clerk to junior management to liquor inspector. For nine years she worked as li- quor inspector in Edmonton, Calgary and Medicine Hat, Alberta. Lynn moved to Terrace in November 1987 to replace Bill Stewart, the previous liquor in- spector. Lynn spends much of her time ‘‘on the road’’, so her office is her home and her 1981 Dodge car. Lynn acts as the eyes and ears for Victoria. She conducts pre- clearance inspections for res- tauranters and pub or lounge owners applying for liquor li- censes. When a prospective li- censee contacts her, Lynn inter- views the applicant, takes photo- graphs of the establishment and reviews regulations and steps still to be taken to qualify for a license. She works closely with the fire department inspector, the health inspector and even the architect, to ensure that the establishment meets all the requirements before she makes her recommen- dations. - If a restaurant is applying for a liquor license, Lynn also checks their menu to ensure that they meet the requirement that adequate meals be served with alcohol in a restaurant. She also deals with the Provincial Health Department on a constant basis to maintain the standards of the restaurant. She does night checks of the pubs and lounges to guarantee that all regulations are being followed. She liaises with the local RCMP detachments who do regular ‘‘walk throughs’’ of local pubs and lounges. By this means, they detect disturbances with the clientele or minors pre- sent in the bar. With the RCMP reports, telephone complaints or word of mouth, Lynn investigates the complaints and talks with the management of the establish- ment. If the problem persists, she sends a detailed report to the Enforcement Department in Victoria. They decide on further action to be taken. Lynn says that most of the managers are pretty good, and she seldom has to get heavy- handed. Traditionally, liquor in- spectors have been ex-security people or police officers. Lynn thinks of her job as more public relations oriented. The same or more is being accomplished with the gentle approach, Even her general manager in Victoria sees the benefits and wants more women ‘‘on board’’. always on. - 6 p.m. dally.

Betty Barton Photo Street drainage problem solved Terrace city council has agreed on a solution to the drainage problem on Cedar Crescent through a proposal by Public Works superintendant Stew Christensen. Christensen suggested last May that an ease- ment through his property at 4514 Cedar Crescent for the in- stallation of astorm drain would alleviate the situation. In exchange for the easement, the city has agreed to haul and spread 16 loads of topsoil from the new sewage treatment plant to his Cedar Crescent property and refund $560 for his share of the cost of a drainage system in- stalled last year. The Planning and Public Works Committee noted that by accepting Christensen’s propo- sal, the city would save $13,800 on an alternate plan to use the existing right-of-way. : ICBC @ Uniform class rating © Claim-rated scale (discount system) ~ @ Community claim centres aa Autoplan Plus is being: "to the government of British Columbia, a AUTOP best 7 prepared for presentation Autoplan Plus © Competitive rates @ Wide choice of options @ Service across North America @ Fast claim settlement ® Uniform class rating @ Claim-rated scale (discount system) © Community claim centres ® Ceiling on premium rates ® Independent Auto Insurance Review Board BCAUTO INSURANCE TASK FORCE |. “Representing participating private insurers in British Columbia, LANL tof ICBC- Best of Private Insurance Autoplan Plus is a new concept in‘auto insurance - a program that brings together the best features of the government plan with the customer benefits of freedom of choice and market competition...
