THE list of Yukon farm products & services!
From our new Town of Faro CAO,
Mr. Tom Lie,
I would like to thank the Mayor and
council of the Town of Faro for giving me
the opportunity to become the Chief
Administrative Officer. My wife Janet
and I look forward to moving to the
community permanently in the very near
future.
Janet and I moved from Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan to Salmon, British
Columbia in 1992. We went to the
Western Arctic in 2001 and lived in
Tuktoyaktuk and Inuvik, NWT for a total
of six and a half years. I was the Senior
Administrative Officer for the Town of
Inuvik for two years. We moved to
Whitehorse, YT in 2007.
Since moving to the Yukon I have been
the business manager for the First
Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun, Director of
Aboriginal Relations with Northwestel
and Senior Business Adviser for the Faro
Mine Reclamation Project.
Janet and I very much enjoy being out
on the land where we snowmobile,
quad, boat, hike and enjoy picking
berries in the fall. We have a Labrador
Retriever that loves to come with us.
We are very much looking forward to
living in the community. We look
forward to meeting many of you in the
near future.
Tom & Janet

STRAIGHT LACED
This phrase was originally STRAIT laces.
The old English word strait meant tight or
narrow. In Tudor times buttons were
mostly for decoration. Laces were used to
hold clothes together. If a woman was
STRAIT laced she was prim and proper.
TheSaying:
THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW
This comes from Matthew 7:14. In the King
James version of the Bible, published in
1611, he says: 'Strait is the gate and
narrow is the way which leadeth to life'.
The old English word strait meant tight or
narrow but when it went out of use the
phrase changed to 'STRAIGHT and narrow'.
TheSaying:
SWAN SONG
This comes from an old belief that swans,
who are usually silent, burst into beautiful
song when they are dying

Household Remedies
I’m going to veer off vinegar this month and talk about Tea Tree Oil. As well as being used
a disinfectant (see Jan. 2012 issue of this paper) its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties make it a useful addition
to the medicine chest.
History: Tea Tree Oil, also known as Melaleuca, was used as a general antiseptic by the
Australian aboriginal tribes for thousands of years. It was used as a medicinal agent for cuts,
burns, bites and many skin ailments. Famous British explorer Captain Cook is held as the man
responsible for the name 'tea tree'. In 1770 when he and his men landed at Botany Bay, Cook,
learning of it’s healing agents from the local aboriginal tribe was said to have brewed the leaves of the tree for his men
to drink to prevent scurvy. As early as 1923, clinical trials in Australia began to provide scientific evidence for tea tree's
antiseptic and bactericidal properties. Its importance made it standard issue for the soldiers in the Australian Army
during World War II.
Some Common Uses (taken from Molly’s Herbals):
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•
•
Add 2 teaspoons of 100% pure tea tree oil to washing machine for a fragrant, fresh wash.
Remove scuff marks from a vinyl/linoleum floor by rubbing with a damp cloth to which pure oil has been added.
Room Spray: 5 drops of tea tree oil to 2½ cups water. Spray around room to refresh.
Refrigerator gaskets stay fresh and clean if you wipe them over occasionally with a tea tree oil/water solution.
Shower doors stay cleaner if you wipe them over with a tea tree oil/water solution. Helps prevent soap scum
build-up.
After washing down walls and removing grime and mildew, wipe over again with a tea tree oil/water solution to
prevent mildew regrowth.
To remove chewing gum from hair, apply pure oil.
Diaper Cleanser: Add 20 drops tea tree oil to approximately 1 gallon of water, stir, then soak diapers overnight.
Fungus Nails: Apply straight Tea Tree Oil to infected area daily
Dandruff: Add 10 drops to an 8 oz. bottle of shampoo.
Pimples: Apply full strength with a cotton swab 2 to 4 times a day.
Is all Tea Tree Oil created equal? Apparently not. Very often you get what you pay for. You want to look at the
percentage of Cineole and Terpinen-4-o1.
Cineole: the lower the number the better (between 3-5%)
Terpinen-4-o1: the higher the better (between 37-35%)
I invite others to share their tried and true concoctions. Email me at [email protected]

FARO RCMP DETACHMENT
Faro RCMP would like caution residents about the possibility of internet, mail and phone
scams. We are currently investigating occurrences in our community where people have been
contacted regarding required work for their home computer as well as incidents related to
family deaths and estate inheritance. Be cautious of any solicitation for any personal
information or money. If it is too good to be true it probably is. If you have any questions
about suspicious contacts give us a call or contact your financial institution.
Thin ice!! Toward the end of March the weather hopefully will warm up. Faro RCMP have
observed and shared the snowmobile trails on the river and the lakes in our area. Please be
careful when panning your activities and avoid any unnecessary risks especially around any
moving water.
The Faro community is very fortunate to have so many trails and open areas for snowmobiling
and outdoor fun. As you chose your route to get in and out of town please attempt to avoid
unnecessary snowmobile pressure on the Faro Golf Course. Significant damage can be done,
inadvertently, by disturbing the grass while riding on the course. The greens are extremely
sensitive. Please be respectful of the hard work your friends, neighbors and town staff put into
the golf course. We are very fortunate to have a golf course and we can all help to keep in
great condition. Also, the cross country skiers in Faro have groomed 3.2 km of trail around the
outside of the course. Grab your skis and give it a try.
Pelly River Hockey Camp!! Faro Minor Hockey, Faro Recreation Department along with the
Faro and Ross River RCMP have teamed up to create a hockey experience for players ages 8 to
15 from Watson Lake to Pelly Crossing. From March 23rd to March 25th players from our
neighboring communities will come to Faro for a weekend of fun at the Faro Arena and
Recreation Centre.
A quick reminder about your K-9 family members. Dog tags cost $10.00 at the Town Hall if
your dog is fixed or $25.00 if not. Please take a minute to stop in and tag your dog so we know
where to return your pet if it happens to get out of your fenced yard or off it’s leash or chain.
Please be sure to secure your dog in some manner if left unattended.
Have a great March and enjoy what’s left of the winter!!
To contact Faro RCMP in an emergency, call 994-5555 or 1-867-667-5555. These calls will be answered by Whitehorse
OCC who will have officers respond to the call. For general inquiries in the community, call 994-2677. If there is no
answer, please phone 994-5555 and an officer will be contacted.

Parent Action Committee
Update!
In February the PAC was very busy! On Valentine's Day we hosted a
spaghetti luncheon for students, parents, teachers and other guests
(62 people in total!) with a healthy heart theme. Thank you to
Student Nurse Gen for the presentation on healthy living and Messy
Molly for leading games in the gym. Watch out for our next lunch
that will be hosted later in the spring!
On Family Literacy Night we held a bake sale and raised over $200.
Thank you for the support; we hope you enjoyed the tasty treats!
We had a blast at the literacy night and want to give a huge thank
you to the teachers and support staff at the school who made it
possible.
Please watch for posters for our next PAC meeting coming up after
the spring break. PAC is all about parents supporting other parents
and being actively involved in our school. All parents/guardians are
welcome!
GMO-Free Yukon is dedicated to keeping the Yukon genetically-modified organism free. This means free from the importation of GM
seeds for the purpose of planting or growing crops, and free from the importation of GM animals. To achieve this we have initiated a
petition which asks the Yukon Legislative Assembly to request the Yukon Government to ban the importation of GM seed or animals.
We are a non-partisan, non-political group whose common denominator is a shared concern in keeping the Yukon GMO-free for this
and future generations.
Definition of 'GMO' (genetically modified organism): An organism whose genetic characteristics have been altered by the insertion of a
modified gene or a gene from another organism using the techniques of genetic engineering.
We are working to achieve a goal of 10,000 signatures on our online petition by the fall sitting of the Legislature, 2012. You can also
print off the petition and gather signatures physically.

Health Fair: Thank you to the following organizations that set-up displays and had fun and
educational booths at the Health Fair: Faro Ambulance, Faro Health Centre, the Recreation and Parks Association, Faro
Home Care, and Judy Freake with Usana Health Sciences. The event started with an Active – Healthy Kids Family Toolkit
and Workshop with Adrienne Marsh, Active Living Consultant with RPAY. She provided a fun and informative session for
parents and sent everyone home with a toolkit to encourage physical literacy and support an environment for active play
in the home setting. The next session was an Introduction to Diabetes Workshop with Shannon Duke, RN, CDE. Shannon
was an excellent facilitator and provided a very informative workshop; very positive comments were received from
participants! The open Health Fair was a lot of fun, participants got to check out booths from all the different
organizations as well as participate in the fitness contest. Lots of awesome door prizes were handed out and healthy
snacks for everyone that attended. A big thank you to Ted Baker for all your help organizing this event for the community
of Faro!
Youth Group Trip to Whitehorse: The Faro Youth Group departed on a trip to Whitehorse on Friday, February 17th,
funded by Youth Investment Fund and Youth Group fundraising. Everyone had so much fun! This trip helped to build
relationships among youth in Faro as well as provide them with an opportunity to go skiing/ snowboarding at Mt. Sima,
explore Whitehorse and check out things they would not have to opportunity to do so otherwise. Events included: a visit
to Skookum Jim Friendship Centre to check out their facility and the services they provide, a movie at the Theatre, skiing
and snowboarding at Mt. Sima, swimming at the Canada Games Centre, a workout session with Ashten and Jess at Yukon
Boxing, and a little shopping and free time! Everyone was very well behaved and Faro should be very proud if its youth!

VernalEquinoxQuestionsandAnswers
Question:Whydoesn’tthevernalequinox(equalnight)
onMarch20havethesamenumberofhoursfordayand
night?
Look up!
March 3 - Mars at
Opposition. The red planet
will be at its closest
approach to Earth and its
face will be fully illuminated
by the Sun. This is the best
time to view and photograph
Mars.
March 8 - 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
09:39 UTC.
March 14 - Conjunction of
Venus and Jupiter. The two
brightest planets in the sky
will be within 3 degrees of
each other in the evening
sky. On March 25 and 25,
the crescent Moon will be
near the two planets,
creating a dazzling evening
spectacle.
March 20 - March Equinox.
The March equinox occurs
at 05:14 UTC. The Sun will
shine directly on the equator
and there will be nearly
equal amounts of day and
night throughout the world.
This is also the first day of
spring (vernal equinox) in
the northern hemisphere
and the first day of fall
(autumnal equinox) in the
southern hemisphere.
March 22 - New Moon. The
Moon will be directly
between the Earth and the

DENISON ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
The senior
management of Denison Environmental Services (DES) wish to thank the
people and businesses of Faro and the Town of Faro staff with whom we have worked
during the past 3 years of Faro Mine Site Care and Maintenance operations.
Thank you for your help and cooperation, and for welcoming DES into your
community.
It has been our pleasure to know you, and we look forward to working
with you
again in the future.
Unfortunately,
with the loss of the Faro Mine Care and Maintenance contract, many of
our management
and supervisory staff either have, or will soon, depart the Town of
Faro. However, DES is committed to maintaining a presence in the Yukon. Our
Whitehorse
office remains open and we have recently been awarded a contract to
provide
Care and Maintenance services at the Mount Nansen site near Carmacks.
Thank you again for the past 3 years. We wish you all the best for the coming years
and we
expect our paths will once again cross.
Sincerely,
Ian Ludgate
– DES Manager
Jon Bronson
– DES Project Manager
Roy Morrell
