Please bring ALL of your current medications with you when you come to see the doctor. ****IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DOCTOR CLINICS*** ***NOTE: PLease bring ALL of your current medications when you see the doctor. If you arrive for your appointment without your medications, you will be asked to go home to get them. *** The doctors here in Faro work at seeing clients on time. While delays do happen that cannot be predicted, getting to your appointment on time is important. If you are more than 10 minutes late for your doctor’s appointment, you may be asked to rebook your appointment for the next clinic. Please review your medication refills every month. DO NOT RUN OUT!!!! Regulations have changed, only a doctor can renew your prescription.
Doctors’ clinics happen approximately every 2 weeks, are frequently fully booked. It takes 1 week for your medications to come from Whitehorse by mail. With your help in these areas, we can all have a successful doctor clinic. Reminder: The sun in the Yukon sometimes does not seem very hot but exposure to UV rays and sunburns are occurring. Using an SPF 25 or greater sunscreen can help, but reapplication is necessary. Follow instructions on the bottle. The best treatment of sunburn is Aloe Vera Gel, other products can be used. Sunburn needs treatment just like other burns do. STOP the burn with cool water not cold, and do not use butter, lard, Vaseline or Ozenol type ointment, as they hold the heat of the burn, creating more damage. If you have questions, check your Yukon Health Guide, or check the internet for information on sunburns. This is also the time to remember boat safety by wearing life jackets, not sitting on them. Wear properly fitted helmets while riding bicycles and ATV’s. Helmets must be adjusted to fit and must protect the forehead. Mosquito season has started. If using repellant, please follow application directions. For those people who have severe allergies that would need an Epi-pen please check the expiry date.

Friendship Feasts is a made in Faro program, it is not affiliated with Social Services, the Faro Health Centre, or any government program. If you are able to make a meal for a family once in a while, please get yourself on the Friendship Feast list. You may get called once in 6 months. To receive meals, you just need to nominate yourself or someone who you know needs meals. Generally, Friendship Feasts provides meals when there has been a death or other hardship in the family, when someone is recovering from an operation or sickness, or when a family brings home a new baby. Getting involved in Friendship Feasts is a great way to get involved in our community and to meet people in town in a meaningful way.
Please remember- someone must call on your behalf or you can call to ask for meals. Our volunteers do not make meals unless we have been asked. If you are not on the list, please call KARA WENT at 994-3114 to sign yourself up! We are always looking for new folks who are able to provide a meal. IMPORTANT NUMBERS
Campfire Safety Fire prevention is a responsibility all of us share. It is important to understand safe fire practices so that everyone can enjoy Yukon's forests. The following are some tips for both residents and recreationalists that will help to prevent damage or injury from an out-of-control fire. When building your campfire, keep these things in mind: - Choose your site carefully - Prepare your campfire by removing all leaves, twigs and other flammable material from the area - Use a designated fire pit or build a ring of rocks at least five metres from structures and tents - Keep your fire under control and prevent it from sparking into surrounding bushes and tress - Never leave your campfire unattended When extinguishing your campfire: - Pour water on the fire and douse the site thoroughly - Stir the campfire until there are no embers and the ashes are cold to the touch. If necessary, douse again.
FIRE 994-2222
During the spring and fall, many Yukoners take the opportunity to clear their property by burning dead trees, leaves and debris from around their property. If done properly, this can be very effective.
AMBULANCE 994-4444 RCMP 994-5555
Always make sure to keep these tips in mind when doing any sort of backyard or debris burning: - Always burn during a safe time of year, in the fall or just after green-up in the spring - Never burn under windy conditions or when conditions are hot and dry - Stay with the fire until it is completely out - Keep a hose and hand tools nearby to extinguish your fire - Avoid burning near buildings, trees or grass - Keep your fire at a controllable size - Remember to obtain a burning permit before taking on any sort of burning
TOWN OF FARO 994-2728
Burning Permits are suspended in the Yukon whenever the fire danger rating is above the low level. http://www.community.gov.yk.ca/firemanagement/index.html

Crane and Sheep Festival Tis the first week of May, and all through Faro People are coming, for to view nature’s show. The streets have been cleaned, of winter’s debris The camp ground is ready, for tourists you see. The town has awakened, like flowers in spring It’s really amazing, what longer days bring. It’s time to catch up, and visit with friends So much to do, before this weekend ends. Local artist arrive, displaying their wares Pete Gibson is here, to talk about bears. Hikes have been planned, out and about A talent show, you could twist and shout. Of course, we have a barbeque planned And potluck it is, so very grand. With Princess Karina, and her friends from Whitehorse Who are they? The Snowshoe Shufflers of course! The visitors center, is ready once more Swept out the cobwebs, opened their door. Please take the time, to view their display A wonderful way, to start off your day. People are meeting, there=s commotion and clatter Crane and Sheep Fest, has arrived like mad hatter. The time is just right, will be gone in a flash It’s our window for viewing, let’s make a dash.
…….. We can’t get enough, everybody wants more What happens next? What else is in store? In wonderment, we look to the sky Sandhill Cranes, are now passing by. Their silhouettes, are lanky and long All of them trumpet, a travelling song. Thousands of birds, travel as one Their wing span alone, can block out the sun. For centuries now, they’ve needed no map Migrating far, barely time for a nap. Passing each year, making their way Their nesting grounds, Alaska they say. We’re but a stop, on their journey of life They gracefully fly, no struggle or strife. The weekend had ended, another fest past Wonders of nature, in memories last. Thanks for coming, and sharing with us Was great to have you, not much of a fuss. Time gladly spent, with good will and cheer Travel safe now. Hope to see you next year. “Another” original poem By First Princes, Miss Town of Faro, Karina Watson May 2016
Day old lambs, white as the snow Fannin Sheep, really put on a show. If you are lucky, you may see one born All cuddly and soft, before they grow horn. All watch as they scamper, frolic and play On the edge of a cliff, that just fades away. Where most skilled of climbers, would hesitate They have no fear, well not of this fate. They develop the skills, they need to survive Mom’s watching on, no need to contrive. Ewes do not worry, as they play on the cliff Dangers they fear, is something they sniff. There are the rams, they survey their domain The Kings of a ragged and rugged terrain. They pose for our photos, curls in plain view Majestically standing, as if there on queue………… (PHOTO COURTESY OF HARA HOPF)

FARO RCMP DETACHMENT It’s great to see folks out enjoying the spring weather! A special thank-you & congratulations go out to Sabine Heigl & the Town of Faro for organizing a successful Sheep & Crane Festival. The festival was filled with education sessions by knowledgeable presenters, outdoor touring activities, and great food. RCMP members helped out with the tours & flipping bison burgers. Cpl. Watson wore her tiara & gown as Miss Town of Faro & she provided live entertainment to all by citing her Sheep & Crane poem. We would like to thank all volunteers & contributors to this Festival including the Snowshoe Shufflers from Whitehorse. We are very fortunate to live in ATV and dirt bike country. The Yukon Government made recent changes to Helmet regulations while operating an ATV under Section 46(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act. The operator & passenger(s) must now wear a helmet. RCMP will be enforcing this legislation. Let’s be safe on the roads & trails. During the community clean up a cell phone was found in the area of Mayo & Hoole Street. If you have lost your cell phone please drop by the detachment. We have received complaints of people playing on the school roof. This is a dangerous act and people can be injured. Police will not tolerate these actions and will be charging individuals for mischief if located on the school roof. Bears have been reported to be in & around town again. A gentle reminder to folks not to keep house hold garbage in your backyard but place your garbage in the Municipal dumpsters. These dumpsters are emptied on a regular basis and will help prevent having a bear in your yard. If you do see a bear in the community you can report it to Conservation Officer Pete Gibson at 867.994.2862. We hosted the Police Week barbeque & a farewell gathering for Cst. Gossen & his family before they transfer to Saskatchewan. The weather was great & the barbeque was well attended. S/Sgt. Brad Kaeding stopped in for a quick visit. We would like to thank George ZIENKIEWICZ & Jim MCMYNN for their baking. The squares and banana bread were delicious. We thank you all for coming, sharing your stories & for all the good laughs. The annual bike rodeo was held and Cpl. Watson helped out at the event. The youth had a great time and they learned a lot about bike safety. Good job! Cst. Gossen was involved with REM and presented Bully talks to youth. The Faro RCMP conducted check stops apart of the National Road Safety Week. There were 22 Officer/Driver contacts & a couple of violation tickets issued. Please be mindful of your highway speeds as we are seeing an increase in speeds by drivers. That is all for now folks. Let’s get out there and enjoy the nice weather!! See ya at the lake!
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. Faro Detachment would like to remind members of the community about our Emergency Phone located at the front entrance to the Detachment. This
phone line is connected directly to Whitehorse RCMP dispatch. The caller only has to hold the phone to their ear and someone from Whitehorse Dispatch will answer. This will ensure a quicker response from Faro RCMP members.

GRADUATION TheFrozenMukluk@gmail.com
I want to sincerely thank the Del Van Gorder School Council, the Principal, Staff and Students, and the anonymous donor for naming the new school playground after my husband, Wolf. I am deeply touched and I know that Wolf would feel very honoured to be recognized in this way. This honour has great significance for our family as Wolf's two daughters, Shanti and Linde, attended school at Del Van Gorder. And, over the years, many school classes came to our farm for field trips. Wolf always enjoyed the students, both the young ones and the teenagers, and he could always make them laugh! With my sincere gratitude, Glenda Eberlein
