We will get there….honest!
The unprecedented snowfall in January
(and then some more cold weather to
boot) has caused a slowup in our ability to
get all the snow cleared in a manner to
which many Faro residents may be
accustomed.
We actually ran out of places to pile all
the darn stuff.
But we will get all the hydrants and all the
garbage containers cleaned out. Roads,
laneways and publicly accessed areas
come first. Then there are all the other
places.
But it will be done!.

1 out of every 5 Canadian adults has high blood pressure
Over a third of these people don’t know they have problem, because they don’t feel sick.
Among those who are aware of their condition, close to half of them don’t follow any
treatment, often because they don’t experience any symptoms.
High blood pressure works silently until problems show up. Serious problems like a heart
attack or a stroke.
Thankfully, changes in lifestyle habits and in some cases taking medication can help control
high blood pressure.
Anyone can suffer from high blood pressure, male or female; young or old; calm or tense. The
problems shows up more often in people who:











have a family history of high blood pressure
are older than 40 years old
are overweight
drink too much alcohol
eat too much salt
have high cholesterol
are diabetic
smoke
do little or no physical activity
take birth control pills
have a kidney or thyroid gland disease
4 WINNING STATEGIES OF CONTROLLING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
1.

Forever Faro Project Update
The Forever Faro planning process is underway to guide our community into the future. It will update our Official
Community Plan (OCP) and our Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP), and also create a new strategic plan for
the Town.
Thanks to those who took the survey!
From a preliminary look at the results, it is clear that we love our town! We especially love the people, natural beauty,
safety and affordable housing. We also heard about the things you’d like to see change, including: addressing the empty
buildings, increasing the population and supporting local businesses. We will be working with the survey results to help
inform the development of the ICSP and OCP. Thanks again for taking the time to provide input!
Next public engagement opportunities
We are planning in-person public engagement events for late February. Focus groups and a drop-in community workshop
will be held to gather additional public input into the vision and plan for Faro’s future. For event details, please connect to
Forever Faro using the options below, or watch for a mail flyer mid-February.

Calling on Young Videographers to Inspire Others in
Anti-Drug Video Contest
Yukon, Crime Prevention, Crime Reduction, Aboriginal Policing Services, Community Policing Services
2013-01-23 15:38 PST
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is holding a contest, calling for the submission of videos made by teens for
teens that promote a drug-free lifestyle. The winning videos will be shown in schools as part of the new RCMP
Canadian Champions youth engagement initiative.
The prizes for the winning videos are Canadian Olympic hockey jerseys signed by Sidney Crosby, Toronto Blue
Jays T-shirts signed by Brett Lawrie and Adam Loewen, and iPod Touch’s.
The contest is open to anyone in Grades 7 to 12 across Canada. Videos must be between 30 and 60 seconds in
length and can be in English or French. Videos could address the benefits of being drug free; the successes and
accomplishments achieved as a result of being drug free; tips on dealing with peer pressure; or what inspires you
to stay drug free.
This is a way young people could have a real impact – a positive impact – on their peers and have a lot of fun
doing it, says Sgt. Keith MacKinnon, of the RCMP Drugs and Organized Crime Awareness Service (DOCAS) in Nova
Scotia where the Canadian Champions program was initiated. The winners will get bragging rights and we will
post a link to their video on the RCMP website.The contest is part of the Canadian Champions program, which
offers youth a variety of information and tools to make informed choices and become ambassadors of a drug-free
lifestyle. A central component of the program are a 26-minute English video and a 25-minute French video that
feature 19 well-known Canadian athletes and celebrities speaking about the importance of being drug free
including NHL’er Sidney Crosby, World Champion diver Alexandre Despatie, Hockey Night in Canada commentator
Don Cherry, singer Mitsou Gélinas and Toronto Blue Jay Brett Lawrie.
There is also an online teaching guide to assist educators in discussing the issues raised by the video and
engaging with youth about drugs. The goal is to send a powerful message to help youth rise above peer pressure
and become champions of their own lives as well as in the lives of others in their schools and communities.
The video contest closes April 28, 2013. For full contest rules and submission information, visit: http://www.rcmpgrc.gc.ca/cc/videocontest-concoursvideo-eng.htm

USELESS
FACTS
FARO MAD SLED DOG
HOCKEY NEWS
I want to begin by extending a very tardy but
hardy thank you to all of the folks that helped
out with the Pelly River Hockey Challenge in
early December. We had 78 youth from
Watson Lake, Ross River, Carmacks and Pelly
Crossing plus coaches and chaperones come
to work with our kids and coaches. It would
be impossible to host an event of this
magnitude without the selfless contributions
made by so many of our local people.
Whether you helped with fundraising, baking,
prep work, cooking, serving, cleaning and/or
kid supervision it all made for a remarkable
experience for everyone involved. Thank you!
*
Only 3% water of the
earth is fresh, rest 97%
salted. Of that 3%, over
2% is frozen in ice
sheets and glaciers.
Means less than 1%
fresh water is found in
lakes, rivers and
underground.
Our bottle drive early in January was also a
huge success with the hockey team and
skating club jointly raising $970.00. Thanks to
Peter Kazda for supervising the sorting and
counting and to the Town for allowing us use
of the arena for the event.
*
The word "Arctic"
comes from the ancient
Greek Arktikos, or
"country of the great
bear." Though the
Greeks had no
knowledge of the polar
bear, they named the
region after the
constellation Ursus
Major, the Great Bear,
found in the Northern
Sky.
While regular practices and games are
ongoing there is still more to come. The Arctic
Edge Skating Club and the Mad Sled Dogs are
gearing up for the annual Skate-a-thon. Be
sure to note the date on your calendar.

Skate-A-Thon and Breakfast
@the Arena
10a.m.
Come and enjoy a hot breakfast and then
work off some of those calories by helping
the kids to skate those laps or cheering the
skaters on. Last year we almost made it to
1200. When the kids come canvassing , know
that every dollar you contribute results in
another lap around the rink. Hope to see you
there.

seeing so many people attend!
DVG is pleased to be hosting a concert by Juno award winner Normal
Foote on Thursday, February 7th at 2:30 pm in the gym. All members
of the public are invited to attend this free event. Some bio background

comedian for all ages. Originally from Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada, he is best known for his songwriting, outrageous props, and
off beat sense of humor in children's music and live performance. He

please bring these by the school. The store is open from 2:30-3:30 on

DVG is looking for a drama coach to put on a short one act play with a
small group of interested students. Please contact Angela Magon

EDITORS NOTES.....
You would think that this far North,
February would be a time of
hibernation for most folks, but I don’t
really see that happening here....
As we all recover from the recent cold
snap(s) and ENDLESS snow falls, there’s
lots to do this month in Faro, and don’t
forget the Yukon Quest, Rendezvous,
Hockey tournaments, Heritage Day
events, Super Bowl Sunday,
Valentines’ day, Groundhog day, and
all the rest!
As we get more and more daylight, I
put my mind to start up gardening
indoors, which really makes me feel
encouraged that Spring will
come...sooner or later....which all
hangs on the very scientific advice of a
certain groundhog of course.
Have a great Valentine’s day folks!
Happy Birthday Dad,
Heather

FARO RCMP DETACHMENT
February Already??!!
Thank you and congratulations to Zachary Bekk. Zachary apprehended the Faro RCMP’s most wanted Garden Gnome. Zach found him
fishing without a license in the Faro Post Office and returned the gnome to the Faro Detachment and collected his prize....good eye
Zach!! Keep up the good work.
Faro RCMP are certain the Garden Gnome will be at it again this month, please help a child under the age of 12 to return him to
Detachment for a reward. As with any crime the more eyes watching and people working together, the more effectively we can
solve problems.
RCMP have noticed an increase in careless driving. This becomes more common as the winter moves on. Slippery conditions make it
easy to slide through stop signs and slip out of your intended lane as you go around corners. Please take special care at intersections
and keep your speed down.
Winter can be a lot of fun. We have all suffered through the cold this winter but let’s get moving this February. The Recreation
Department offers a full slate of activities for all ages and the area has more than enough outdoor pursuits to keep us all
active...remember those new year’s resolutions and get out and active!! We’ll see you there.
A few reminders about snowmobiles as we head into warmer weather... If you’re traveling on a public road you must be a licensed
driver. Your snowmobile must be registered, insured and you must wear a helmet. If you’re not traveling on a public road we ask
you to do so safely and exercise common sense. The trails are not very wide so be mindful of your speed and the possibility of
oncoming traffic, skiers or others enjoying the outdoors. As always, remember a snowmobile is a motor vehicle. Alcohol and motor
vehicles do not mix. The same rules apply to your snowmobile that apply to your car or truck, whether you’re riding on the roads or
the trails.
Have a great Super Bowl Sunday but if you’re planning on having a few drinks please leave your car at home. Be safe and have fun.
Have a fun and safe February!!!

new books!
Department of Environment
There sure has been a lot of snow this winter! The extreme conditions we have been having make it
hard for moose and caribou to get around in the bush, so they will be seeking easier routes. Keep an
eye out for them when travelling on the highways. Also, for people out with snowmobiles, be very
cautious when crossing ice, as the warm weather we have been having has created over-flow in a lot of
areas.
For anyone interested in viewing the Fannin Sheep, a snowshoe out to Van Gorder Falls or a drive out
to the Fingers Site could prove to be a worthwhile venture to see these guys.
We would also like to remind hunters that Bison season is CLOSED right now in the Bison
Management Area. It will re-open Feb. 15th. For more info contact any Environment office.
Enjoy the snow 

REIKI
Reiki is a healing technique used for relaxation, stress
reduction and for balance of the chakras in the body. It is a
non-invasive procedure that has been compared to a relaxing
massage. The healing takes place when the practitioner uses
“life force energy” in a concentrated manner and directs it
into the patient’s body. It does not involve any pain, and in
most cases, removes any existing pain from the body.
Call Barb McMahon for a session of physical and
emotional reiki healing at 994-3016.

TOWN OF FARO SNOW PLOWING PRIORITY
SNOW CLEARING
OPERATIONS
During our snow clearing
operations on Faro streets this
winter, it would be very much
appreciated, wherever possible, if
vehicles could be parked in your
own driveways, or perhaps the
one across the street.
It makes our job so much easier
for the efficient removal of snow if
this task is not impeded by parked
vehicles.
Thank you!

miscellaneous
February 14th is named after the patron saint, St. Valentine, and we celebrate this day with the exchange of candy,
flowers, cards, and gifts as a token of affection to our loved ones. The history of this day is very sketchy but it does appear
to derive from Christian and Roman traditions. The story I like dates from the third century when Rome was ruled by the
Emperor Claudius II. The Emperor outlawed marriages for young men as he felt single men made better soldiers than men
who were married. A priest, named St. Valentine, didn't agree with the Emperor and married young lovers in secret. When
the Emperor discovered what St. Valentine was doing, he sentenced him to death. While St. Valentine was in prison,
waiting to be put to death, he met and fell in love with the jailor's daughter. Before he died he sent her a love letter and
signed it "From your Valentine". This expression is still used today and St. Valentine is now best remembered as a
romantic and heroic figure.
This tale reaffirms our desire to romantically celebrate Valentine's Day. And chocolate, with its aura of being an
aphrodisiac, becomes the perfect gift to give or receive from our mate. So strong was the Aztec's belief of chocolate's
power as an aphrodisiac that their emperor, Montezuma, used to drink upwards of 50 cups of chocolate per day. It also
became very popular in Spain when Hernando Cortés brought it back from his voyage to the New World in the 16th
century. Aristocratic ladies loved to start their mornings with a cup of chocolate and would even instruct their servants to
bring them a cup during Mass. To welcome this Valentine's Day why not start the morning as Montezuma did, with a cup of
hot chocolate. Whether you make it with just milk or with a combination of milk and coffee, it is delicious tasting and will
leave you with a warm glow.
2 cups (480 ml) milk
3 ounces (90 grams) semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 ounce (30 grams) milk chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon granulated white sugar, or to taste (optional)
Place the milk, semisweet chocolate, milk chocolate, and sugar (if using), in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk
periodically until the mixture just reaches the boiling point. Remove from heat and if more foam is desired, use a wire whisk
or hand held immersion blender to whip the hot chocolate.
Pour the hot chocolate into two cups and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder or grated
chocolate, if desired. *Preparation time 10 minutes.

February 10 - New Moon. The
Moon will be directly between the
Earth and the Sun and will not be
visible from Earth. This phase occurs at
07:20 UTC. This is the best time of the
month to observe faint objects such as
galaxies and star clusters because
there is no moonlight to interfere.
February 25 - Full Moon. The
Moon will be directly opposite the Earth
from the Sun and will be fully
illuminated as seen from Earth. This
phase occurs at 20:26 UTC. This full
moon was known by early Native
American tribes as the Full Snow Moon
because the heaviest snows usually fell
during this time of the year. Since
hunting is difficult, this moon has also
been known by some tribes as the Full
Hunger Moon.
