USELESS FACTS *

Early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what was considered important to the people. Since there were no telephones, TV's or radios, the politicians sent their assistants to local taverns, pubs and bars who were told to "go sip some ale" and listen to people's conversations and political concerns. Many assistants were dispatched at different times. "You go sip here" and "You go sip there." The two words "go sip" were eventually combined when referring to the local opinion and thus, we have the term "gossip."

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 9943114 to sign yourself up! We are always looking for new folks who are able to provide a meal.

FARO RCMP DETACHMENT Hello folks, March is finally here! It really has been a short winter with the warm weather. So many opportunities to get outside to explore nature, skidoo on trails, and go ice fishing.

February was a busy month for the members of the detachment. Cst. GOSSEN helped organized and coach the Pelly River Hockey Challenge in its fifth anniversary. A big thank you to the organizing committee, the volunteers and the sponsors for a job well done. Once again the food being served was delicious. It’s always a special moment to watch youth from rural communities gather & play together during this successful challenge.

Cpl. WATSON represented our community as “Miss Town of Faro” in the Yukon Rendezvous Celebration at Whitehorse.

She did very well in the event and we applaud her for this.

Cst. DRAPEAU was busy coaching Little Rockers curling program. The youth curling program ran for five weeks and is now complete. The goal of the program was to introduce youth to the game of curling and to have fun! The Little Rocker’s learned the rules of the game, basic mechanics of the curling delivery, sweeping, curling terminology and sportsmanship. Cst. DRAPEAU also taught them that this is the only time they are allowed to throw rocks at houses!

Thin Ice! With warm & melting temperatures be mindful of Thin ice on the lakes, creeks and rivers. Please be careful when planning your activities to avoid any unnecessary risks especially around open & moving water.

The Cross Country ski trails are in great skiing conditions. This is a great outdoor activity for youth during Spring break.

Grab your skis and give it a try.

A quick reminder about your K-9 family members. The Town Office has Dog tags that can be purchased at the cost of $10.00 for a neutered dog or $25.00 for unneutered dog. Please take a minute to stop in at the Town Office and have your pet tagged. This makes it easier for us to identify who the dog belongs to and where we can return it when your dog happens to get off its leash or out of your fenced yard.

Have a great March and enjoy what’s left of the winter!!

Hello everyone, Cpl. PRINCESS here. Finally back in Faro after a month of Rendezvousing in Whitehorse. As fun as it was, it is good to be home.

Other things to remember with the warming weather, the roads will melt in the day and freeze up at night making them very slippery…….so please use caution and adjust your speed accordingly.

Finally we have some found jewelry at the office. If you are missing any jewelry, please come see us. We would like to get it back to it’s owner.

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.

TOWN OF FARO Council Meeting Dates Tuesday March 1st, 2016 & Tuesday March 15th, 2016 Agenda items must be received by noon on the Thursday prior to the Council meetings.

PUBLIC NOTICE

The Town Office will be closed for the following statutory holidays: Good Friday March 25, 2016 & Easter Monday March 28, 2016

TINTINA GUN CLUB BOX 67, FARO YUKON Y0B 1K0 Tintina Gun Club Rifle Range News Update Our club held our annual meeting the evening of January 22, 2016 in the Rec Center Youth Lounge. Over 20 people attended and many new members have signed up. As this was our business meeting we had the usual meeting requirements to deal with including reports from the executive and an election of officers to serve for the upcoming year.

In 2015 our club received a Community Development Grant for $55,000 to improve our club house and range, including a new shooting station complete with shooting tables that is out of the weather. Over $6,000 worth of volunteer labour and equipment were contributed to the project. We reached substantial completion by October 6th however there are still a few things to finish by the members.

We had good discussions on the future of our club and range and everyone there left the meeting encouraged that we would have a functioning, certified shooting facility by spring. Much discussion focused on rimfire and centerfire rifle, handgun, and shotgun events.

Our club is planning an open house at the range, once the range is certified. Other events we will hold include the ever popular pellet gun turkey shoots and perhaps another summer dance event.

Just a reminder that the Tintina Gun Club and shooting range is a private club expressly for the use and enjoyment of our members. You need to be either a member or with a member as their guest to use these facilities.

Memberships are available through Ray Henderson, 994-2103 or Jack Bowers, 994-2262.

Membership dues are $35/individual member/year or $50/family/year.

Miss Town of Faro Update Well Rendezvous has come and gone…….it seemed like it was a long ways off then it was over. It was very busy.

I knew that the Queen Candidates did a lot of work, but I must say I didn’t appreciate how much work they did do.

As you may or may not know by now, I finished second, I am First Princess……so I guess that makes me Cpl. PRINCESS!!!!! I would like to thank everyone for their support and encouragement. I should have the Miss Town of Faro web Site updated by the end of the week. There just weren’t enough hours in the day during the final week.

I was top ticket seller with 611 books. Thanks for making that happen. I could not have made that happen without all of you.

It was a good group of candidates this year and I would not have wanted to be a Judge. Unfortunately only one of us could be Queen and Brooke, Miss G and P Steak House, was chosen. She will do an excellent job. She was also crowned Miss. Congeniality! (and she was who I voted for so I am glad she got that) The Faro float won it’s category, Best Community Representation. This is for all the floats not in the business or grad challenge. So good job!!!! The Mayor of Whitehorse, Mayor CURTIS, was impressed stating that Faro had put Whitehorse to shame by entering a float. I have a feeling that there will be a Whitehorse float next year.

Perhaps as the winner this year our Mayor can challenge all the other Mayors/Communities next year………you never know. Mayor Curtis will be posting a photo of our float on the City of Whitehorse web site. There will be some on the Town of Faro web site soon.

FARO YOUTH HOCKEY NEWS March is our last month on the ice. The last hockey practice will be Monday March 21st and there will be practices running over spring break as well. The last session for Learn-to-Skate is Wednesday March 9th. Thanks for another great season on the ice and we hope everyone had a good time!

We guess by now everyone has heard the big news for the Mad Sled Dog hockey players! The entire team of 22 kids have been invited to watch a Vancouver Canucks game on Easter Weekend. There has been a lot of support from businesses both here and in Whitehorse and also from so many residents here in town! That financial support is allowing all of the 22 kids to attend for no cost. But of course, this is a very expensive trip with three nights in hotels, airfare, meals, etc. So we will be doing a couple of FUNDRAISERS before we leave on our adventure!

BOTTLE DRIVE March 7th we will be running a bottle drive starting at 3:30pm. Leave your empties out for us in bags or boxes or have them at the door. If you want an early pick up, call Matt on Sunday March 6th at 994-3114 and he will come and get them. If your house is missed and you want to still donate cans and bottles, just call Matt after that event and we will arrange pick up.

PASTA SUPPER

On Saturday March 19th, we will be running a pasta supper at the rec centre starting at 5pm following Ice Worm Squirm festivities. Prices are $8 a plate or $20 a family for either spaghetti (pick your own homemade sauce) or lasagna (vegetarian options available), caesar salad, and homemade buns. This includes a drink as well. There will be a dessert table with items available for $1 each such as cookies and squares, for $2 you can get an ice cream sundae, and for $3 you can get special homemade cream puff ice cream sundae!

During the supper fundraiser, we will be running a cake walk and the entry fee each round is $1 per person. We will also be having a draw for a few Mad Sled Dog hoodies; the fee to enter the draw is $2.

Starting at 6:30 is the best part of the evening!! For $5, you can THROW A WHIPPING CREAM PIE at one of our volunteers/victims! Rumour has it that a nurse, a teacher, an RCMP member and a teenager are signed up so far.

And for $1 you can win the chance to throw the SUPER PIE at your favorite victim up there! Watch for posters with more details about this event.

Thank you to everyone who has so generously contributed funds so far towards this trip. The support has been overwhelming and makes us all proud to be part of this incredible little community!

Contact Kara at 994-3114 if you would like more information about any of these events!

SOCIAL MEDIA HISTORY

Miscellaneous LOOK UP March 8 - Jupiter at Opposition. The giant planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. It will be brighter than any other time of the year and will be visible all night long. This is the best time to view and photograph Jupiter and its moons. A medium-sized telescope should be able to show you some of the details in Jupiter's cloud bands.

A good pair of binoculars should allow you to see Jupiter's four largest moons, appearing as bright dots on either side of the planet.

March 9 - New Moon. The Moon will located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This phase occurs at 01:54 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.

March 9 - Total Solar Eclipse. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely blocks the Sun, revealing the Sun's beautiful outer atmosphere known as the corona. The path of totality will only be visible in parts of central Indonesia and the Pacific Ocean. A partial eclipse will be visible in most parts of northern Australia and southeast Asia.

March 20 - March Equinox. The March equinox occurs at 04:30 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 23 - Full Moon. The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs at 12:02 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Worm Moon because this was the time of year when the ground would begin to soften and the earthworms would reappear. This moon has also been known as the Full Crow Moon, the Full Crust Moon, the Full Sap Moon, and the Lenten Moon.

March 23 - Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's partial shadow, or penumbra. During this type of eclipse the Moon will darken slightly but not completely. The eclipse will be visible throughout most of extreme eastern Asia, eastern Australia, the Pacific Ocean, and the west coast of North America including Alaska.
